When you leave and I'm feeling down
And my red cells keep runnin' 'round
Runnin' 'round from the very start
To and from this lonely heart
How I long for our hearts to meet
Cause I hurt with every beat
Baby when you leave
Baby when you go
My heart don't like its job anymore
My heart don't like its job anymore
When you leave and I'm feeling down
And my red cells rust to brown
I'm so sad my heart feels old
Muscles weak, my body cold
Cause you're the one that keeps me fixed
Right at ninety eight point six
Baby when you leave
Baby when you go
My heart don't like its job anymore
My heart don't like its job anymore
Lungs are backing up
This heart has had enough
I'm trying, I'm dying
To get back to you
We're gonna make it through
Baby when you leave
Baby when you go
My heart don't like its job anymore
My heart don't like its job anymore
My heart don't like its job anymore
No it don't like its job anymore
