Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, baby please don't go
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, baby please don't go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, girl, I just want you to stay
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today
A love like ours is love that's hard to find
How could we let it slip away
We've come too far to leave it all behind
How could we end it all this way
When tomorrow comes and we'll both regret
The things we said today
If you leave me now
You'll take away the biggest part of me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, baby please don't go
Oh, girl, I just got to have you by my side
Oh, oh, oh, oh, no, baby please don't go
Oh, my, my, I just got to have your loving

Patricia: "You have a great pain inside of you."
Trevor: "For... for some... for some reason, everyone I love... abandons me..."
Patricia: "I am not abandoning you. I am going home."
Trevor: "If he mistreats you-"
Patricia: "I know. I know."

This is a beautiful song and the melody is smooth soul and wonderful
And it’s sad a bit too
And the “when tomorrow comes and we’ll both regret the things we said today
It’s a very valuable and true lyric.
