Don't Leave Me This Way

When I first met you, I felt the flames of desire
 Been like I known you for years, oh yes i did
 But your heart grew colder, through the fire
 Left me holding back my tears
 I don't expect you to understand
 How these memories haunt my mind
 Now I walk alone late at night
 And I can't, can't, stop from crying
 Oh... Don't leave me this way
 Don't leave me this way
 Don't leave me this way
 Don't leave me this way
 You moved on but I keep holding on
 To the sweet lies that will never be
 I don't expect you to understand
 How these memories haunt my mind
 Now I walk alone late at night
 And I can't, can't stop from crying
 Oh... Don't leave me this way
 Don't leave me this way
 Don't leave me this way
 Don't leave me this way
 I'm trying baby, I'm begging you
 Can't you see that I need you?
 C'mon hear my _____
 What am I to do?
 Don't you leave me, I can't take it
 Don't you leave me woman, don't you leave me
 I don't know what I'm gonna do
 I need you here by my side
