I'm putting you right out of my life
Ain't going to see you for quite some time
I'm fading away in the morning sun
Maybe behind it, I'll find someone

Baby, why do you sneak into my mind
Why do you haunt me all the time
Why don't you go and leave me be
Why don't you go and leave me free?
This time stop me if you think you can

Oh, we had a love that lived and died
When it was over there was no one to cry
So now that it's gone without one tear
I reckon it's time that I was not here

Baby, why do you sneak into my mind
Why do you haunt me all the time
Why don't you go and leave me be
Why don't you go and leave me free?
This time stop me if you think you can

Been flitting around your scene too long
Reckon it's time I was travelling on
Oh baby, if you don't want me to go
Why are you whispering my name so low

Baby, why do you sneak into my mind
Why do you haunt me all the time
Why don't you go and leave me be
Why don't you go and leave me free?
This time stop me if you think you can
