Lyrics
If you’ve ever been sad and lonely, you know how I feel
When you lose your one and only, the hurtin’ don’t heal
Been crying, not denying the pain that I’m in
Ever after didn’t matter – I’m alone again
I’m just a lovesick guy. I got in over my head
Been burned for the last time. Now I’m leaving love
Leaving love alone. Leaving love alone.
Leaving love alone. Leaving love alone.
Next time love comes calling, I’m keeping my cool
This time I won’t be falling, not playing the fool
A little action, a good distraction – a casual fling
Not gonna lie, might give it a try but I ain’t buying no ring
I’m just a lovesick guy. I got in over my head
Been burned for the last time. Now I’m leaving love
Leaving love alone. Leaving love alone.
Leaving love alone. Leaving love alone.
