Styx - After You Leave Me lyrics

rate me

Written by George Clinton

Lead vocals by James Young

you come to me girl

tears are in your eyes

your head's bowed in sorrow

you whisper your good-byes

there's nothing I can tell you

to make you want to stay

so let me ask one question

before you slip away

after you leave me

where can I go?

after you leave me

what will I do?

I've seen this moment coming

for such a long, long time

I've laid awake for hours

rehearsing every line

but now that it's here girl

can't think of anything to say

so let me ask one question

before you slip away

after you leave me

where can I go?

after you leave me

what will I do?

every time that

I get next to her

I'm hung up in this ring of fire

if I love her

should I let her go

or should I beg on a bended knee?

how much longer

lord, I just don't know

I just can't take it girl

I'm breaking up o'er you

after you leave me

where can I go?

after you leave me

what will I do?

after you

after you leave
