Don't Leave Me This Way

"Don't Leave Me This Way" by Thelma Houston

Thelma Houston

Lyrics: 

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, now
I can't exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss, don't leave me this way

Oh... 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?
Then come on, satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
Set me free, set me free

Don't, don't you leave me this way, no
Don't you understand, I'm at your command?
Oh baby, please, please don't leave me this way, no, baby
Don't leave me this way, now
I can't survive, I can't stay alive
Without your love, baby
Don't leave me this way

Oh... 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, satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
Set me free, set me free
Need your loving, baby, need, need
Need your love right now

Baby, baby, please
Come and satisfy the need in me...

Need your love right now...
Your love is so important to me...
Satisfy the need in me...
Oh baby, come and satisfy the need in me...
Don't leave me this way, no...
Don't leave me this way, baby...
