"Leave This Town" lyrics

Leave This Town

Diamonds are so pretty
Rubies are so red
My baby's gone and left me
She's made another's bed
I can't believe this misery
Sneaks up on you real slow
If she's the one in trouble
Why's it me that has to go

I don't wanna leave this town
I'm not the one to blame
Leaving all my friends behind
In sorrow and shame

I thought that we were happy
I thought our love was true
A better life you couldn't find
Speak on like lovers do
Taken by the devil
To another man's arms
Held captive by his richness
And shackled by his charms

I don't wanna leave this town
I don't wanna know
Leaving all my friends behind
I don't wanna go

I can't pretend
Love's lost again
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's just breaking my heart in two

Oh, I don't wanna leave this town
I'm not the one to blame
Leaving all my friends behind
In sorrow and shame

I can't pretend
Love's lost again
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
It's just breaking my heart in two

No, I don't wanna leave this town
I don't wanna go
Leaving all my friends behind
I don't wanna know

I don't wanna leave this town
I don't wanna know
Leaving all my friends behind
I don't wanna go
