Charley Pride When I Stop Leaving (I'll Be Gone) lyrics

How do some folks stay in love
Like a honeymoon couples that can't get enough?
How can love be tender
Yet so tough, as it grows?

I've left you and I've come back
So many times, I can't keep track
What is it one of us lacks
What do you know?

When I stop leaving and I'll be gone
When I stop leaving you, I'll be gone
Love's not gettin' any clearer
Sometimes I think, it's all done with mirrors
When I stop leaving I'll be gone

I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone

I need you and you need me

Still we pay for love, love that's free
Should we hang together
Or independently and let it go

I come back, each time I leave
We make love then we shout and scream
Bottom line time what does it mean
Oh, do you know?

When I stop leaving and I'll be gone
When I stop leaving you, I'll be gone
Love's not gettin' any clearer
Sometimes I think, it's all done with mirrors
When I stop leaving I'll be gone

When I stop leaving and I'll be gone
When I stop leaving you, I'll be gone
