I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love — Dusty Springfield

I'd rather leave while I'm in love While I still believe the meaning of the word I'll keep my dreams and just pretend That you and I were never meant to end

Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine Somebody's heart gets broken And usually it's mine I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again And you and I can't say goodbye

So, if you wake and find me gone Oh, babe, just carry on You see, I need my fantasy I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love, ooh

Too many times I've seen the rose die on the vine Somebody's heart gets broken, yeah And usually it's mine I don't wanna take the chance of being hurt again And you and I, we can't say goodbye

So, if you wake and find me gone Hey, babe, just carry on You see, I need my fantasy I still believe it's best to leave while I'm in love, oh, oh I'd rather leave while I'm in love
