[Verse 1]
I can't believe you're really leaving me, baby
I just walked in and I see your bags stacked by the door, baby
And now you said you found a brand new lover
Gonna turn your back on me, a wife and a mother
And leave me here with my heart in my hand
How can I fight it when I just don't understand?
No, I don't understand
[Verse 2]
I can't believe you're really leaving me, baby!
What have I done?
What did I say that make you wanna go? Oh, baby
After the go, you been a little bit rough
Working day and night, I ain't been home enough
But you had always had my love, all to yourself
I never thought you would give yours to someone else
Honey, I never thought that—baby!
[Bridge]
Oh-wee, please don't go
(I can't believe that)
(I can't believe)
[Verse 3]
What am I gonna say to little Zu and Joe?
When they come home from school, they're gonna wanna know
Why daddy eyes are red and that mama's not there
How can I say I love her when she does not care?
No, she doesn't care, baby!
[Outro]
I can't believe
That you're really leaving me, baby
(I can't believe, I can't believe)
I just, I just, I just
Can't believe that you are really leaving me, baby (I can't believe)
