↓ LYRICS ↓
Don't leave me this way
I can't survive
I can't stay alive
Without your love, no baby
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist
I will surely miss your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Aww, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control?
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
Don't leave me this way
I don't understand how I'm at your command
So baby please, so don't you leave me this way
Aww, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control?
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
Come satisfy me, come satisfy me
Don't you leave me this way
No, no
No, no
No, baby don't you go
Don't leave me this way
I can't exist
I will surely miss your tender kiss
So don't leave me this way
Aww, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you've got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can't you see it's burning out of control?
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
'Cause only your good loving can set me free
Set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free, set me free
(Don't leave me this way)
Don't you know by now?
Don't you know by now?
I'm losing control...

This song came out a couple of months after I met my husband in 1986. We were together for34 yrs until I lost him in 2020 to pancreatic cancer at 58 yrs old. This song takes me back there. I loved you then Gareth, I love you now, I always will. He didn't want to leave me this way. Miss you Gar, miss you love ❤️❤️

[@lozzii1917]

The man on Piano is classically trained pianist Richard Coles he's Ordained Priest but retired as Anglo Catholic Church doesn't want Gay Priests Shocking yet they let in Priests plastered in piercings and Tattoos and even Chronic drinkers yet you can't be in that way to be worker of God and his Blessed Mother so very sad, things don't change Father Coles should do wot Holy Family ask him to do no questions asked regardless to wot his sexual orientation is just wish people were more accepting yet on other hand children as young as 4 years old are being brain washed they are not gender they are born as this nonsense needs to stop. Gays or Queens as my Nan called them are most loving caring nicest people out there well ones I new even went out there way if need be my Nan loved Boy George and Erasure night before she died she played full blast in middle of night Erasure said I can't go to Heaven without Queenie serenading me referring to Andrew Bell hours later she was dead so she knew her time was up. Sorry changed subject Love old music brings back loads Happy memories unlike rubbish music of today who can't sing for life of them

[@theexmann]

Dancing all night long without a worry in the world! I was in my 20s and had an amazing time all during the 80s. We didn't realize how lucky we were back then. Only decades later did I truly understand how unique and special that time was in my life. Wonderful memories!

They weren't happy when They were told they had to mime on Top Of The Pops - as most bands and singers did - so the male and female vocalists sang each others vocals.
