Lyric After You Leave 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
