You’ll Never Leave Her

You promised me you'd tell her
How our love got its start
But I know your reputation, boy
You're afraid you'll break her heart

You're still kissing her hand
And you know, you know, you know that just ain't right
How can you love me all day long?
And cry with her all through the night?

You'll never leave her
Oh, you'll never leave her
You'll never leave her, 'cause you need her too much
Oh, no no no
You'll never leave her
Oh, you'll never leave her
You've grown accustomed to the warmth of her touch

You said you'd tell her Friday
All you wanted was more time
But now this is Sunday, baby
And I'm going out of my mind

You tell me you love me
I think I believe it's true
But even waiting for you all my life
Tell me what good would it do?

You'll never leave her
Oh, you'll never leave her
You'll never leave her, 'cause she needs you too much
Oh, no no no
You'll never leave her
Oh, you'll never leave her
You've grown accustomed to the warmth of her touch

You'll never leave her
Oh, you'll never leave her
You'll never leave her, 'cause she needs you too much
Oh, no no no
