Oh, you say that you're goin' away and leavin' me And you say you ain't never coming back That you're sick and tired of how I'm doing And you're gonna head off down the track But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you And that I'm sorry for the quarrel that we had If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces So take it slow, be sure you know before you go Oh, your wounded pride has blinded your reason And right now you wanna to hurt me if you can The man is waiting here to take you to the station And you're leaving with your ticket in your hand But darlin' before you go be sure you know how much I love you And that I'm sorry for the quarrel that we had If you leave you're gonna tear my world to pieces So take it slow, be sure you know before you go
