Oh why don't you call
When you say you will my dear
Is it because I don't belong to you
Anymore

And why don't [bad word] When you say you will my dear
Do you really think it will work out wrong

Oh and you've been lost
And I've been saved
Is that [bad word] from giving away

Maybe in time you [bad word] back along
To greet me

What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?

Why don't you call?
Don't you miss me at all?
Left a long long time ago
To where the weather was better
For his kind

Why won't you play?
You've gone and left your face
I may be a fool all along
But I never understood [bad word] 
Oh and every street calls your name
whispering ghost of neighborhood flame
Maybe in time you will wake up to find you're free

What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?

So I grow up longing for another
With the windy city left behind to my lover
Will you ever know the way I cry
You were gone that day, so you may have missed
My goodbye

Oh, and sometimes in my dreams I hear you say
"If you really care you won't go away"

What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
What if I leave?
