0:05Our love affair is bitter sweet
0:08Insecure and incomplete
0:10And I've often wondered why your leaving's been so long delayed
0:17It's all become so complicated
0:21Maybe you feel obligated
0:23And out of simpathy for me you stay
0:28But I had rather live alone
0:32Than live with someone who doesn't love me
0:37And I'd rather have you go than stay
0:40And put me down a thinkin' you're above me
0:45Our love affair is so wound up
0:48It's best that we unwind
0:50And if you don't love me, leave me
0:53And don't let it trouble your mind
1:01You've waited much too long to leave afraid of how I'd take it
1:06And I'm deeply touched by your concern but I think I can make it
1:12It won't be easy for a while but I'll forget in time
1:17And if you don't love me, leave me and don't let it trouble your mind
1:24I had rather live alone
1:27Than live with someone who doesn't love me
1:32And I'd rather have you go than stay
1:35And put me down a-thinkin' you're above me
1:41Our love affair is so wound up
1:43It's best that we unwind
1:46And if you don't love me, leave me
1:48And don't let it trouble your mind
1:52♪
