Don't leave me this way
I can't survive
I can't stay alive
Without your love, oh, baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist
I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
Don't leave me this way

Ahh, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control
So come on and satisfy the need in me
'Cause, only your good lovin' can set me free

Don't leave me this way
Don't you understand
I'm at your command
So baby, please
Don't leave me this way

Ahh, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control
So come on and satisfy the need in me
'Cause, only your good lovin' can set me free (set me free, set me free...)

Come satisfy me...

Don't leave me this way (ooh, baby)
I can't exist
I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way

Ahh, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control
So come on and satisfy the need in me
'Cause, only your good lovin' can set me free (set me free, set me free...)

Don't leave me this way (repeat 'til end)
