[Intro]
Baby, girl, now, don't you need me?
Baby, please don't leave me

[Verse 1]
You say that you wanna leave
And turn your back on me (Don't you leave me)
Say no more, walk out the door (I can't stand it)
Leave my heart empty (Don't you leave me)
Well, I wish I could tell you "Yes", girl (I can't stand it)
Wish I could say "Just go" (Don't you leave me)
But my heart tells me to stop (I can't stand it)
'Cause I still love you so

[Chorus]
I wish I didn't love you so
Wish I didn't need you so
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go
I wish this love was never real
To have a heart that couldn't feel
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go

[Post-Chorus]
How could you tell me that you loved me (Wish I didn't love you so)
And then just go and take it from me (Wish I didn't love you so)
[Verse 2]
Oh, you say I should understand
That you mean no harm to me
Why do you take away the love
I need so desperately?
Don't wanna let you go, girl
Feelin' what I do for you
And if you ever leave me, tell me what am I gonna do?

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I didn't love you so
I wish I didn't need you so
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go
I wish this love was never real
To have a heart that couldn't feel
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go

[Break]
(Let you go, oh oh)
(Let you go, oh oh)

[Verse 3]
Oh, are you waiting for me to signal
That I'll make it without you? (Don't you leave me)
But I won't make that hurt that you bring (I can't stand it)
An easy thing to do (Don't you leave me, girl)
I want you to see the pain, girl (I can't stand it)
That you're giving me (Don't you leave me)
So look at my face and see the man (I can't stand it)
Without a destiny
[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I didn't love you so
I wish I didn't need you so
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go
I wish this love was never real
To have a heart that couldn't feel
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go

[Post-Chorus]
Soon I will lose the love I need (Wish I didn't love you so)
Your mind's made up, you're gonna leave

[Chorus]
Oh, I wish I didn't love you so
I wish I didn't need you so
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go
I wish this love was never real
To have a heart that couldn't feel
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go

I wish I didn't love you (So)
I wish I didn't need you (So)
Then it wouldn't be so hard to let you go
