Don't Leave Me This Way

by Dr. John

Woke up early this mornin'
'Bout a break a day
Fell down on my knees
And all you could hear me say
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
'Cause the woman I love
Is goin' home to stay
Lay down cross in my bed
To rest my achin' head
Tears runnin' from my eyes
All I could do was cry
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
'Cause the woman I love
Is goin' home to stay
I went down to the corner
To buy myself a drink
I thought that it will help me
Because I could not think
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
No oh oh oh
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way)
You know the woman I love
Is goin' away to stay
Oh oh oh oh
(Don't leave me this way)
Oh oh oh oh
(Don't leave me this way)
Oh oh oh oh
(Don't leave me this way)
Oh oh oh oh
(Don't leave me this way)
You know the woman I love
Is goin' away to stay
The woman I love
Is goin' away to stay
You know the woman I love
Is goin' away to stay

On Don't Leave Me This Way by Dr. John

The song I've been looking for was popular in the 1990s and sung with a heavy and sad baritone (like Barry Whites). It's been some 27 or more years since I last heard the song, but the chorus part goes something like/ close to: You knew I said I loved you, it's true. And you loved me as I loved you. But now you are going in, I haven't. Oh what I'm I gonna do? But I just can't ??? let you. Baby I loved you, you heard me swear, oh baby (over). Don't leave me this way.
