    ↓ 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...

    I'm 68 and frankly, I don't give a funk if he's gay or not. To me Jimmy is, and has always been, just a formidable artist and singer. What a voice! What a professional! Cheers to all from South Africa.

      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. They got a bit of a telling off from their record company. Oh dear! Just one query I have. Surely the music banning order at the start of the video should apply to Justin Bieber??!!?? Sorry, 'Bieliebers', or whatever you call yourselves. (I'm not sorry really!)

      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
