How Could You Leave

I guess I figured out that something was wrong
And that things have changed
'Cause girl I sit by the phone and I wait for your call
But the phone never rings

So I picked up the phone and called you at home
You're on the other line
I wanna talk to you maybe even see you
You say you have no time

You started doing things
That you never did before
How could something so right turn out
To be something so wrong

You thought the grass was greener
You thought the well had water
You thought that you could find a love another place, oh
And how could you, how could you leave this good thing?

We use to take long walks and have long, long talks
On the telephone
You use to hold my hand in the shopping mall
I felt I was your own

We stopped going out as much
I started feeling all alone
Girl you stopped telling that you loved me
Saying that you cared but I still carried on, on

I thought we could work things out
But I just don't understand why
How could you leave someone patient
Like me for something so wrong?

You thought the grass was greener
You thought the well had water
You thought that you could find a love another place, oh
And how could you, leave me baby?

Even though you, broke my heart in two
I was just hanging on
Trying to do what was right
You were already gone

You thought the grass was greener
You thought the well had water
You thought that you could find a love another place, oh
And how could you leave?

You thought the grass was greener
You thought the well had water
You thought that you could find a love another place, oh
And how could you leave me?

When love came you went away and if I see you again
Girl I would ask you how could you leave
How could you, how could you leave me baby?

When love came you went away
And if I see you again girl I would ask you
How could you leave this good thing?
