Eddie holland/lamont dozier/ Brian holland I know you're leavin' me behind I'm seein' you darlin' for the very last time Show a little tenderness before you go Please let me feel your embrace once more Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while We all must feel heartache sometimes Right now, right now i'm feelin' mine I've tried my best to be strong, but i'm not able I'm like a helpless child left in a cradle Before you leave me behind let me feel happy one more time Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while I'm losin' you and my happiness My life is so dark i must confess I'll never, never see your smiling face no more I'll never, never hear your knock upon my door Before you leave me, leave me behind Let me feel happy one more time Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
