Intro

I never thought I’d be a man that cares just like I do.

I knew when I first saw you my doubting days were through.

You’ve got a certain something I never dreamt before.

I knew it was for real when you stepped inside that door.

And when the day does come when you and I depart

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.

And when the day does come when you and I depart

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.

There’ll always be a prideful man who believes he’s got the strength,

( *)

But you don’t have to kiss him ’cause I’ll go to any length

To be the man you want at night, I’ll get better, wait and see

You can’t pick the apple ’til the seed becomes the tree.

(REPEAT...)

And when the day does come when you and I depart

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.

And when the day does come when you and I depart

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.

I know you like to get undressed and I’ll be there when I can,

But please don’t go on whoring or I won’t be no lawman.

Every cheatin’ bastard who’d take you to his bed

Wish he’d kept his breeches on when he’s lying full of lead.

Now I don’t care what you do,

I don’t care what you say.

There’s a truth inside you somewhere that doesn’t have to play

At being scared and lonely, acting so darn loose

Screwing who you want to when believing you’re excused.

Etc.....

And when the day does come when you and I depart

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.

And when the day does come when you and I depart

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.

And when the day does come when you and I depart

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.

And when the day does come when you and I depart F

You’ll be the one who’s leaving ’cause you’ll never leave my heart.
