The door is closed again, it's closed on me
Here I am alone again, there's not a soul to see
I'm on my own now, it didn't turn out right
My bed is cold as ice, and you're out there in the night
Oooh, can't get you off my mind
Oooh, you know my heart is on the line and it happens every time

[Chorus:]
Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no
I need you more than I could ever say, do you have to stay away so long
I thought we had it all, there was something there
But I made my first mistake when I thought you'd care
Oooh, can't get you off my mind
Oooh, you know my heart is on the line and it happens every time

[Chorus:]
(Solo)

Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no
Don't leave me this way, baby, don't leave me this way, oh no
[Chorus repeats out...]
