Tear Your Love Away

If you really love somebody,

Then let that person go.

If the one you love comes back,

She's really yours, you know.

Well, someone must be crazy,

'Cause I know it's not that way.

If you really wanna leave me,

Oh, I'll cling all night and day.

 

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

Oh, I just can't set you free

'Cause you mean too much to me.

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

If you really wanna leave me,

Well, then, tear your love away.

 

If you really love somebody,

Then don't hold on too long;

But I really, really need you,

Oh, my love is just too strong.

And how can I give you freedom

When it means the death of me?

Oh, you know I wanna keep you,

I just can't set you free.

 

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

Oh, I just can't set you free

'Cause you mean too much to me.

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

If you really wanna leave me,

Well, then, tear your love away.

 

In love, there must be freedom -

Well, you're free to break my heart.

At least, that's how it should be,

But giving freedom is an art.

And I just can't give you freedom,

I really don't know how.

'Cause I love, oh, how I love you,

Oh, please don't leave me now.

 

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

Oh, I just can't set you free

'Cause you mean too much to me.

Tear your love away.

Tear your love away.

If you really wanna leave me,

Well, then, tear your love away.

 

Ooh, tear your love away

  Ooh, tear your love away

    Ooh, tear your love away
