You're gonna make me cry You're gonna make me cry Oh, don't make me cry You're gonna break my heart You're gonna break my heart Oh, please don't break my heart Love can bring happiness And love can bring sorrow Love can be here today And it'll be gone tomorrow Oh, oh, oh, don't break my heart Please, don't break my heart You're gonna make me cry You're gonna make me cry Oh, don't make me cry I'm gonna leave you alone That's what I have to do I've got to leave you alone Oh, oh, oh, leave you, leave you alone I'm gonna have to leave you alone I got to leave you alone Leave you alone

I've seen love go by my door It's never been this close before Never been so easy or so slow Shooting in the dark too long When something's not right, it's wrong You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Dragon clouds so high above I've only known careless love It's always hit me from below But this time around it's more correct Right on target, so direct You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Purple clover, Queen Anne's lace Crimson hair across your face You could make me cry if you don't know Can't remember what I was thinking of You might be spoiling me with too much love You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Flowers on the hillside blooming crazy Crickets talking back and forth in rhyme Blue river running slow and lazy I could stay with you forever and never realize the time Situations have ended sad Relationships have all been bad Mine have been like Verlaine's and Rimbaud But there's no way I can compare All those things to this affair You're gonna make me lonesome when you go You're gonna make me wonder what I'm doing Staying far behind without you You're gonna make me wonder what I'm saying Make me give myself a good talking to I'll look for you in old Honolulu San Francisco, Ashtabula You're gonna have to leave me now, I know I'll see you in the sky above In the tall grass in the ones I love You're gonna make me lonesome when you go Oh, you're gonna make me lonesome when you go Oh, you're gonna make me lonesome when you go Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

I paint by numbers all the freckles on your skin I'm using colors but you're black and white within I want to hold you hold you hold I want your love I'm needing something you might not be capable of Hold me down if you want to baby Let me go I will fly Hold me down if you want to darling but Don't make me cry I'm in your bed I close my eyes and count to ten Your words are floating dandelions in the wind I want to hold you hold you hold I want your love I'm needing something you might not be capable of Hold me down if you want to baby Let me go I will fly Hold me down if you want to darling but Don't make me cry All of my desire Spilling out like water All of my desire Toss it in the fire, fire Hold me down if you want to baby Let me go I will fly Hold me down if you want to darling but Don't make me cry
