If You Leave

Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark

If you leave, don't leave now

Please don't take my heart away

Promise me just one more night

Then we'll go our separate ways

We've always had time on our sides

Now it's fading fast Every second every moment

We've got to--we've gotta make it last

I touch you once I touch you twice

I won't let go at any price

I need you now like I needed you then

You always said we'd still be friends someday

If you leave I won't cry I won't waste one single day

But if you leave don't look back I'll be running the other way

Seven years went under the bridge

Like time standing still

Heaven knows what happens now

You've got to--you've gotta say you will

I touch you once I touch you twice

I won't let go at any price

I need you now like I needed you then

You always said we'd meet again

I touch you once I touch you twice I won't let go at any price

I need you now like I needed you then

You always said we'd still be friends

I touch you once I touch you twice

I won't let go at any price

I need you now like I needed you then

You always said we'd meet again someday

If you leave

Oh if you leave

Oh if you leave

Don't look back

Don't look back
