Just like that, just like that,
Suddenly, and without warning or explanation,
You are walking out of my room
You are leaving me behind and going away
I saw you packing up your things,
I witnessed you stuffing your belongings into bags
All your diamonds and your rings
All your jewelry and valuables
So if you have to go i wont say
If you must leave, I won't object or plead for you to stay
No
I won't stop you
But if you know that girl i love
If you truly understood my deep feelings for you
You so, but if you have to go i wont
You would know that I care for you deeply, but I still won't
Say no, oh i miss you away oh but you
Refuse to stay with me and although I will feel lonely without you,
Dont want to stay, so if you have to go i wont
I won't try to persuade you to change your mind and stay with me if you don't want to
Say no
I respect your decision to leave
