If you leave her now   Your never gonna see her again   Now she's gonna need a shoulder to cry on   She's gonna need a friend      She's gonna need a pillow case   Something to put those tears on   And I've got some purple satin lacys   One second later, then the second you're gone      She' gonna miss you at first   But then she's gonna buy me things   That's when I'm gonna lay her   Across my piano stool and sing to her      Honey, I tried to tell him that you were the marrying kind   A faithful one-man-woman, best he would ever find   I guess he wasn't trying to hear that, there ain't nothing left to say   I tried to tell him if you run to me, I, I won't run away      If you leave her now   You'll never get another glimpse   I'm going to lace her with enough ice to recap the pole   There might be another solar eclipse      She's gonna find bath water   Bath water hot enough to be touched   I'm gonna put her on the same diet Missy went on   You know she eat to much      Tonight, she's gonna miss you at first   But then she'll get used to me   All of the tricks I would try   To make her take this ring and make love to me      Honey, I tried to tell him that you were the marrying kind   Faithful one-man-woman, best he would ever find   Guess he wasn't trying to hear that, there ain't nothing left to say   I tried to tell him if you run to me, I, I won't run away      Run away   Run away   Run away   Run, run   Don't run away
