If you ever leave me, baby Leave some morphine at my door…
“If you ever leave me, baby Leave some morphine at my door 'Cause it would take a whole lot of medication To realize what we used to have We don't have it anymore There's no religion that could save me No matter how long my knees are on the floor So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin' To keep you by my side And keep you from walkin' out the door Cause there'll be no sunlight If I lose you, baby And there'll be no clear skies If I lose you, baby Just like the clouds My eyes will do the same If you walk away, everyday it will rain Rain, rain-a-a-ain I'll never be your mother's favorite Your daddy can't even look me in the eye Oooh if I was in their shoes, I'd be doing the same thing Sayin' there goes my little girl Walkin' with that troublesome guy But they're just afraid of something they can't understand Oooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds Yea for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try I'll pick up these broken pieces 'till I'm bleeding If that'll make it right Cause there'll be no sunlight If I lose you, baby And there'll be no clear skies If I lose you, baby Just like the clouds My eyes will do the same If you walk away, everyday it will rain Rain, rain-a-a-ain Don't you say (don't you say) Goodbye (goodbye) Don't you say (don't you say) Goodbye (goodbye) I'll pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding If that'll make it right Cause there'll be no sunlight If I lose you, baby And there'll be no clear skies If I lose you, baby Just like the clouds My eyes will do the same If you walk away, everyday it will rain Rain, rain-a-a-ain”
