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 will take a whole lot of medicine to realize What we had ain't here anymore There's no religion that could save me No matter how long my knees are on the floor (Ooh) So keep in mind all the sacrifices I'm makin' To keep you by my side To keep you from walkin' out the door. 'Cause there'll be no sunlight If I lose you, baby 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'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain I'll never be your mother's favorite Your daddy can't even look me in the eye Ooh, 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 Ooh, but little darlin' watch me change their minds Yeah for you I'll try, I'll try, I'll try, I'll try And pick up these broken pieces 'til I'm bleeding If that'll make you mine 'Cause there'll be no sunlight If I lose you, baby 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'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain Oh, 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 There'll be no clear skies If I lose you, baby And just like the clouds My eyes will do the same, if you walk away Everyday it'll rain, rain, ra-a-a-ain < 3”
