Written by George Clinton Lead vocals by James Young you come to me girl tears are in your eyes your head's bowed in sorrow you whisper your good-byes there's nothing I can tell you to make you want to stay so let me ask one question before you slip away after you leave me where can I go? after you leave me what will I do? I've seen this moment coming for such a long, long time I've laid awake for hours rehearsing every line but now that it's here girl can't think of anything to say so let me ask one question before you slip away after you leave me where can I go? after you leave me what will I do? every time that I get next to her I'm hung up in this ring of fire if I love her should I let her go or should I beg on a bended knee? how much longer lord, I just don't know I just can't take it girl I'm breaking up o'er you after you leave me where can I go? after you leave me what will I do? after you after you leave
