You loved me and you made me what I am today
You loved me and you gave in ev’ry single way
You loved me and gave it all so tenderly
You loved me but I’m telling you now on bended knee

I’m leaving you baby
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

I’m leaving you baby
I was …….I’m
I’m a 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
