Well, you know that you're doing Lots of things that aren't right you're out with a different party Almost every night And you're making me look like a crazy fool So why do I have these doubts about leaving you Because my heart tell me stay and But my pride tells me go But how can I leave you When I love you so Which way shall I turn Well, I'd sure like to know My heart tells me stay But my pride tells me go Well, I'd be so much better off To drive you from my mind And make you a memory That I'd like to leave behind But I know that these heartaches Are what you will put me through So why do I have these doubts about leaving you Because my heart tell me stay and But my pride tells me go But how can I leave you When I love you so Which way shall I turn Well, I'd sure like to know My heart tells me stay But my pride tells me go My heart tells me stay But my pride tells me go
