Sean Altman, David Yazbek - Left lyrics

I know a thing or two about loneliness
Though you'd never know it lookin’ at me
I've missed the kiss and a sweet caress
Of a missy who's a memory

Don’t try to tell me to forgive and forget
Cuz that's never gonna be my way
You and me, we got a good thing goin'
If you just heed what I say! When I say
Don't you leave me like the other one left me
Don't deceive me then just forget me
Don't leave me like the other one left me
Lonely, lonely, all alone
I thank god for you when I say amen
But heaven help you if it happens again
Now don't you leave me like
The other one left me
Lonely, lonely, all alone

No no hey!

So, you think you got a
Monopoly on feeling down
In your pitiful private hell
Your jelly belly achin' tears of a clown
Are like qauzimoto bangin’ a bell

What, do you think you’re the only
Beached whale in the sand?
I'm a spruced up loser too
Just bite your tongue
Not the hands that feeds ya
And listen to what I say to you!

When I say
Don’t you leave me like the other one left me
Don't deceive me then just forget me
Don't leave me like the other one left me
Lonely, lonely, all alone
I thank god for you when I say amen
But heaven help you if it happens again
Now don't you leave me like
The other one left me
Lonely, lonely, all alone

No no hey!

And god bless god
For given us a second chance
To be a two time loser but lord have mercy
If either one of us gets our way

And god bless god
For wrecking our past romance
So I can pick an’ choose ya
But, you better choose me back forever
Or there'll be hell to pay!

This kinda paranoia feeds on it'self
Like a coyote caught in a trap
You gotta nip it in the bud or it'll creep up
And slit your throat while your takin' a nap

No amount of preparation
Or even contemplation
Can inoculate ya from that pox
You can burn with the witches
Sleep with the fishes
Either way you're ending up in a box

Til' that day
Don't you leave me like the other one left me
Don't deceive me then just forget me
Don't leave me like the other one left me
Lonely, lonely, all alone
I thank god for you when I say amen
But heaven help you if it happens again
Now don't you leave me like
The other one left me
Lonely, lonely, all alone
