He left a letter for you by the door Just saying "Goodbye, I don't love you no more" He made you feel like you weren't worth anything But if you were mine girl I'd have everything [Chorus] Your touch, your kiss, your tenderness Your blue eyes burning with fire Your heart and soul when he let them go He left a lot to be desired What was he thinkin' was he out of his mind How could he walk away how could he be so blind No I'll never understand why he gave you up He was one lucky man when he had your love [Chorus] He left a lot to be desired
