You loved me and you made me what I am today
You loved me and you gave in every single way
You loved me and you gave it all so tenderly
You loved me
But I'm telling you now on bended knee
I'm leaving you baby
Ooh yeah
I'm leaving you baby
I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face
I was nowhere and you gave me a home, a resting place
I was nothing and you gave me something to live for
I was nowhere
I wanna tell you now like never before
I'm leaving you baby
I'm leaving you baby
Oh yeah
I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face
I was nowhere and you gave me a home a resting place
I was nothing, nothing and you gave me something to live for
I was nowhere
And I feel it now like never before
Mama, I'm leaving you baby
I'm leaving you baby
I'm leaving you baby, oh yeah
I'm leaving you baby
Leaving you baby
Leaving you baby
Leaving you baby
Time and time away
Yeah babe I'm leaving you before it's too late
I'm leaving you baby, hey hey
I'm leaving you baby
I can't stop the tears that you cry
I can't stop the tears that you cry
But I got to say goodbye, oh baby
I'm leaving you, ma ma ma ma
Oh I'm leaving you baby, ooh
