Lyrics

Laying in the after glow,
I only want to learn what you know,
But now you're leaving...
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving...

In this world, all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much

Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away

I only want to make this things last,
So how could this have gone so fast?
And now you're leaving...
How many times must I learn?
It' s only when you've gone that I burn,
And now you're leaving...

In the end, all that is left has come unbearable
It's hard to change your mind,
So leave it all behind

Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away

Layin' in the after glow
I only want to learn what you know
Ooh, but now you're leavin'
How many hearts must you break
And how many calls must I make?

But now you're leavin'
In this world all that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much

Only when you leave
I'll need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
A fool enough too long
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Ooh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away

Whoa, no no no no
Only when you leave, you'll leave in danger
Ooh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave...
