Last night I slept alone, I stayed at home 
For the first time since you've been gone, babe 
No friends to understand, to lend a helping hand 
To ease the greatest pain I've ever known 

How you walk away so easily 
Still remains a mystery to me 
Don't you remember that you promised me 
Yes, you promised me, that you'd never leave, boy 

But you went away, baby, and It's such a shame 
How could you turn you back on me, oh

[Chorus:]
If you really don't want me, if you don't want me 
If you really don't need me, if you don't need me, 
If you really don't love me, tell me who do you love? 

If you really don't want me, if you don't want me 
If you really don't need me, if you don't need me 
If you really don't love me, then who do you love? 

I gave you babe everything, a man could ever need, 
I was there whenever you would call, baby, 
But somehow your feelings changed, and you don't act the same 
I guess you're not the man that I once knew at all 

How you walk away so easily 
Still remains a mystery to me 
Don't you remember that you promised me 
Yes, you promised me, that you'd never leave, boy 

Now the love is gone, babe 
Tell me what went wrong 
How could you leave me hanging on, oh baby 

[Chorus]

I once was blind, but baby, now I'm seeing 
That I'm not the one, who can fill your every need 
I painted a picture so clear, it's reality 
Now I know, yes, I know that, you're not the one for me 
Ohhhhh, baby... 

[Chorus]

How you walk away so easily 
Still remains a mystery to me 
Don't you remember that you promised me 
Yes, you promised me, that you'd never leave, boy 

How could you walk away from me? 
Baby, if you promised you'd never leave 
Been so long since you've been gone 
The greatest thing I've ever known 

[Chorus]
