°/ – The Communards – Don’t Leave Me This Way – con testo

Nel 1985 il cantante Jimmy Somerville abbandona i Bronski Beat per creare, insieme al musicista Richard Coles e la vocalist Sarah Jane Morris, il gruppo The Communards.

Nel loro primo album inserirono Don’t Leave Me This Way, cover di una canzone scritta da Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff, e Cary Gilbert.

Il testo:

Don’t leave me this way
I can’t survive, I can’t stay alive
Without your love, oh baby
Don’t live me this way
I can’t exist, I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don’t leave me this way

Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you’ve got to do
Your started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning, out of control
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
Cos’ only your good loving can set me free

Don’t leave me this way
I don’t understand how I’m at your command
So baby please don’t leave me this way.

Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you’ve got to do
Your started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning, out of control
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
Cos’ only your good loving can set me free

Don’t leave me this way
Cos I can’t exist
I will surely miss
Your tender kiss
So don’t leave me this way

Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you’ve got to do
Your started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning, out of control
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
Cos’ only your good loving can set me free
