Ronnie Milsap Lyrics
"When I Stop Leavin' (I'll Be Gone) - Charley Pride"

(Kent M. Robbins)

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 do you know?

When I stop leaving 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 need you and you need me
Atill 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 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 I'll be gone.
When I stop leaving you I'll be gone...
