Carvin Winans - Don't Leave Me lyrics

[Verse 1:] Somebody told me the other day Your patience was wearing thin I've heard you were slow to anger But wouldn't always strive with men And I have to admit You have asked me to quit time and time again But this feels like the last time Feels like I'm living in the last time Kinda remind me how my Momma told me "Boy, the stove is hot." It wasn't that she didn't want me to eat food She didn't want me to touch the pot Now she had to reprimand with a backhand But the message I finally got Y'all, it feels like the last time Feels like I'm living in the last time [Chorus:] Don't leave me I don't deserve for you to stay But don't leave me What I done, you shoulda been gone far away Don't leave me Give me one more chance I pray Living in the last time Gotta have a made-up mind Don't leave me [Verse 2:] Somebody called me the other week Said, "Boy, you really got time You know you're young, go out have fun Before you make up you mind." And I have to admit I have slipped from time-to-time But this feels like the last time Feels like I'm living in the last time Kinda reminds me how my Daddy told me "Boy, don't move the car" But when he went in the store I put the pedal to the floor Did what I wanted anyhow Can you imagine, my friend, it was the basement again When he found out what I done Y'all this feels like the last time Feel like I'm living in the last time [Chorus] [Bridge:] Heaven knows how long its been Don't know where and I can't say when Sure would be nice to feel your spirit again I must say since I been alone I can't face it on my own That is why you hear my spirit groan [Chorus](2x) [Ad-libs:] I can't live without your spirit God I need you near me Lord Give me one more chance Yeah, yeah I can't live without your Love Give me one more chance Oh Lord I can't live without your spirit You know I've got to be right near it Just give me one more chance [Bridge] And I'm crying... [Vamp:] If you ever left me, if you ever left me If you ever left me, if you ever left me Where would I be? [Ad-libs:] I couldn't make it I couldn't take it I'd cry all night long You see, you see, the sun wouldn't rise Moon wouldn't glow Stars come out at night Vegetation grow Ohh, Don't Leave me Lord I couldn't find my way home I wouldn't know what to do Lord I wouldn't want to get up out of my bed You might as well bury me! I wouldn't want to live, wouldn't want to live Well, don't leave me Lord, don't leave me
