Only When You Leave Lyrics By Spandau Ballet

    laying in the afterglow
    i only want to learn what you know
    but now you’re leaving
    how many hearts must you break
    how many calls must i make
    but now you’re leaving

    in this world
    all that i choose has come unbearable
    but love is in your touch
    ooh it’s killing me so much

    only when you leave
    i need to love you
    and when the action has all gone
    i’m just a little fool enough to need you
    fool enough too long

    only when you leave
    you’ll leave in danger
    oh i’ll make sure that you pay
    so give a little passion to a stranger
    and take this soul away

    i only want to make things last
    so how could this have gone so fast
    and now you’re leaving
    how many times must i learn
    it’s only when you’ve gone that i burn
    and now you’re leaving

    in the end
    all that is left has come unbearable
    it’s hard to change your mind
    so leave it all behind

    only when you leave
    i need to love you
    and when the action has all gone
    i’m just a little fool enough to need you
    fool enough too long

    only when you leave
    you’ll leave in danger
    oh i’ll make sure that you pay
    so give a little passion to a stranger
    and take this soul away
