—Jack Clement
Refrain:
She don't hold and kiss me like she did one time
I think my sweet baby's got leavin' on her mind
The longer I know her the more I can tell
my darling's not happy with me
The longer I know that I know her too well
the less love in her eyes I see
Refrain
The stronger I hold her the farther apart
my darling is growing from me
The danger of my darling breaking my heart
it's fast moving in on me
Refrain
The deeper I love her the farther away
my darling slips out of my hands
The longer the future the longer I'll stay
out of my darling's plans
Refrain
I think my sweet baby's got leavin' on her mind
