Lyrics
Verse I
I try to make you happy why I don't know
'Cause everything I do seems to upset you so
You gotta just love me or leave me
You're breakin' my heart don't deceive me
You gotta just love me or leave me, babe
Verse 2
You never used to act this way before
What am I doing now that makes you so sore?
You gotta just love me or leave me
You're breakin' my heart don't deceive me
You gotta just love me or leave me, babe
Bridge
I don't wanna hang around now
When all you do is frown now
Why can't it be like we were then?
Each time we have a showdown
I feel depressed and so down
Is there someone else in your life? Please confess.
Verse 3
Now please be truthful with me
Don't lead me on
We'll never make it if your love is gone
You gotta just love me or leave me
You're breakin' my heart don't deceive me
You gotta just love me or leave me, babe

Verse 3
Now please be truthful with me
Don't lead me on
We'll never make it if your love is gone
You gotta just love me or leave me
You're breakin' my heart don't deceive me
You gotta just love me babe I love you
You gotta just love me or leave me
You're breakin' my heart don't deceive me
You gotta just love me or leave me, babe
