Foghat - Hate to see you go lyrics

rate me

it's hard to love somebody, and leave her all the time

it's hard to be a friend, easy to be unkind

you treat me like a stranger, and I can understand

'cause you're a lonely woman, and I'm a travelin' man, well

lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye

I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry

a man needs a woman, to stand by his side

and I need you, to keep me satisfied

well, I hate to see you cry

wipe the water from your eye

I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway

there's one thing you should know

I hate to see, hate to see you go

well if you ever leave me, I'll be the one to blame

but I never gambled to play a losin' game

my cards are on the table, I ain't a cheatin' man

I'm livin' for your lovin', I hope you understand

well, I hate to see you cry

wipe the water from your eye

I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway

there's one thing you should know

I hate to see, hate to see you go

all the miles between us, you and I

all the lonely nights we sat and cried

too many to replace, and it's too hard to erase

I don't know what to do

well I don't know what to do, no

woo

lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye

I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry

a man needs a woman, I want you to know

well I need you, I hate to see you go
