If you’re leaving me

If you're leaving me

RA, 1988

  
RA, Spanish, 1988

Well if you're leaving me, well just tell me
Well if you're leaving me, well just tell me why
You've not been here for so long
I though you'd already gone,
So if you're leaving me, well just tell me

Well it don't mean a thing, just tell me
Ah no it don't mean a thing just tell me why
I think I've heard it before
But just tell me once more
So if you're leaving me just tell me.

Not surprisingly 1988 produced a couple of songs about leaving.

The song isn't really about how I was feeling.  Songs are usually, like dreams, wish fulfilments.  I would have liked to have slightly arrogant and contemptuous while saying just tell me.  That wasn't the way it was.
