美國實力歌手［麗塔．庫利芝］──成人流行抒情曲──［Id Rather Leave While Im in Lov／我寧願在戀愛時離開］

Id rather leave while Im in love
While I still believe the meaning of the word
Ill keep my dreams and just pretend
That you and I are never gonna end

Too many times Ive seen the rose die on the vine
Somebodys heart gets broken, usually its mine
I dont wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I cant say goodbye

So if you wake and find me gone
Oh, baby carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe its best to leave while Im in love

Too many times Ive seen the rose die on the vine
Somebodys heart gets broken, usually its mine
I dont wanna take the chance of being hurt again
And you and I cant say goodbye

So if you wake and find me gone
Oh, baby carry on
You see I need my fantasy
I still believe its best to leave while Im in love
I still believe its best to leave while Im in love
