(Don Reid)

It wouldn't be so bad if it were over
'Cause when she's gone I surely feel the need
Someday to walk right out and start all over
But she never altogether leaves.

Being by myself is not so bad right now
That empty closet and just one mouth to feed
It's only late at night that I remember
That she never altogether leaves.

I got over the hate but I still love her
And this broken down old home's no place to be
Where memories of her will always linger
'Cause that girl never altogether leaves.

It wouldn't be so bad if it were over
'Cause when she's gone I surely feel the need
Someday to walk right out and start all over
But she never altogether leaves.

That she never altogether leaves.

No she never altogether leaves...
