Every Time You Go Away Lyrics

Verse 1:
Every time that I'm with you girl
Can't believe you share my world
But it's real
And every time that I hold you close to me
Forever is all that I can see
How it feels
See I don't give a damn
What my homies say
Don't matter anyway
See I never felt this way before
You leave a brother wanting more

Chorus:
I hate to see you go even though
I know when YOU'RE coming back
It's hard to breathe without you girl
And baby that's a fact
I know sometimes you have to leave
But I wish that you could stay
Every time you go away

Verse 2:
From the very first time that I touched you babe
Couldn't find the words to say
You set me free
And every time that I kiss your lips
Nothing ever tasted quite like this
Or got so deep
See I don't give a damn
What my homies say
Don't matter anyway
See I've never ever felt this way before
You always leave me wanting more

Chorus:
I hate to see you go even though
I know when You're coming back
It's hard to breathe without you girl
And baby that's a fact
I know sometimes you have to leave
But I wish that you could stay
Every time you go away

Bridge:
You're the sunshine of my day
You brighten up my life
You take of piece of me with you
Every time you say goodbye

Chorus:
I hate to see you go even though
I know when you're coming back
It's hard to breathe without you girl
And baby that's a fact
I know sometimes you have to leave
But I wish that you could stay
Every time you go away
I hate to see you go even though
I know when you're coming back
It's hard to breathe without you girl
And baby that's a fact
I know sometimes you have to leave
But I wish that you could stay
Every time you go away

I hate to see you go even though
I know when you're coming back
It's hard to breathe without you girl
And baby that's a fact
I know sometimes you have to leave
But I wish that you could stay
Every time you go away
