I'd Rather Leave While I'm In Love Lyrics - It Begins Again - Dusty Springfield

(Peter Allen / Carole Bayer-Sager) 

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
