[Verse 1]
I hadn't planned on staying
Or hanging around long
I thought by now
I'd be down the road and gone
But you did something to me
When you kissed me through me
You put a hold on the plans of a leaving man

[Chorus]
I was a leaving man, I do declare
Girl, it's a matter of fact
I had my bags all packed, I was ready to go
But I never got to the door
'Cause you put a hold
On the plans of a leaving man

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
So, I lay here beside you
I couldn't leave when I tried to
Now my heart won't let me
Say goodbye this time
No, there won't be a next one
I've had a change of direction
You put a hold on the plans of a leaving man
[Chorus]
I was a leaving man, I do declare
Girl, it's a matter of fact
I had my bags all packed, I was ready to go
But I never got to the door
'Cause you put a hold
On the plans of a leaving man

[Tag]
Yes, you put a hold
On the plans of a leaving man
