Hate To See You Go Lyrics

It's hard to love somebody and leave her all the time

It's hard to be a friend, easy to be unkind

You treat me like a stranger and I can understand

'Cause you're a lonely woman and I'm a travelin' man, well



Lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye

I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry

A man needs a woman to stand by his side

And I need you to keep me satisfied



Well, I hate to see you cry, wipe the water from your eye

I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway

There's one thing you should know

I hate to see, hate to see you go



Well, if you ever leave me, I'll be the one to blame

But I never gambled to play a losin' game

My cards are on the table, I ain't a cheatin' man

I'm livin' for your lovin', I hope you understand



Well, I hate to see you cry, wipe the water from your eye

I'd love to hear you say, you need me anyway

There's one thing you should know

I hate to see, hate to see you go



All the miles between us, you and I

All the lonely nights we sat and cried

Too many to replace and it's too hard to erase

I don't know what to do, well I don't know what to do, no



Lookin' through the window, I saw you wave goodbye

I tried to raise a smile, all I could do was cry

A man needs a woman, I want you to know

Well, I need you, I hate to see you go
