Last night I slept alone, I stayed at home

For the first time since you've been gone, babe

No friends to understand, to lend a helping hand

To ease the greatest pain I've ever known



How you walk away so easily

Still remains a mystery to me

Don't you remember that you promised me

Yes, you promised me, that you'd never leave, boy



But you went away, baby, and It's such a shame

How could you turn you back on me, oh



[Chorus:]

If you really don't want me, if you don't want me

If you really don't need me, if you don't need me,

If you really don't love me, tell me who do you love?



If you really don't want me, if you don't want me

If you really don't need me, if you don't need me

If you really don't love me, then who do you love?



I gave you babe everything, a man could ever need,

I was there whenever you would call, baby,

But somehow your feelings changed, and you don't act the same

I guess you're not the man that I once knew at all



How you walk away so easily

Still remains a mystery to me

Don't you remember that you promised me

Yes, you promised me, that you'd never leave, boy



Now the love is gone, babe

Tell me what went wrong

How could you leave me hanging on, oh baby



[Chorus]



I once was blind, but baby, now I'm seeing

That I'm not the one, who can fill your every need

I painted a picture so clear, it's reality

Now I know, yes, I know that, you're not the one for me

Ohhhhh, baby...



[Chorus]



How you walk away so easily

Still remains a mystery to me

Don't you remember that you promised me

Yes, you promised me, that you'd never leave, boy



How could you walk away from me?

Baby, if you promised you'd never leave

Been so long since you've been gone

The greatest thing I've ever known



[Chorus]
