Lyrics

You use the love to quench my desire
You play with me, you play with fire
I'd give my heart to take you higher
This is my only one desire
We can't get along
And you won't come home
There's a day I caught you in his arms, seducing him with all your charms
You know you really hurt me so
I need you and I won't let go

Can't get away, babe
Can't get along, mama
Can't get away, babe
Oh, you hurt me so
Oh, babe, you got me crying in my sleep
I close my eyes, it's you I see

You're not with someone else, I know
My heart says not to let you go
Oh, babe, my heart is stronger than my soul
You hurt my head down to me toes
I won't let go; you make me wild
You leave me, girl, you know I'll die

Can't get away, babe
Can't you let you go, darlin'
I can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so
Can't get away
Can't let you go
Can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so
