Oh baby,
I don't want to leave
but I think I've got to go now
If you must leave, make it the last time
Get your hat and get your coat
Don't burn your bridges,
don't burn your bridges,
don't burn your bridges,
I'll let you down
Take a second thought before
you walk away
Relationships like ours don't
happen every day
If I have nothing else,
I still got no pride
And I won't allow
you to tear me up inside
So are you really sure
you're not stepping out of line?
Can you be certain
that your life will work out fine?
Deep inside you know
that I'm the one who'll always care
So face the fact
and turn around
and we can try to share
Don't burn your bridges
Leave a little love behind
you
Don't burn your bridges,
I may never want to find you.
Did I underestimate
how you would react?
At the end of the day,
I thought you'd face the fight.
Running out on me
would bring it all to an end.
And I won't take you back
when you haven't got a friend.
But there's still time enough
to save the bitter tears
If you only stop trying to hide
from all your fears
We spent years building
a foundation for love
It's right there in the ground below
and in the sky above
Don't burn your bridges
Leave a little love behind you
Don't burn your bridges,
I may never wanna find you
Don't let too much water run downstream
If you're not careful
we could lose our dreams
What we had was precious
like diamonds or gold
So don't allow the flame to grow cold
Don't let the flame go out
Don't burn, don't burn your bridges
Leave a little love behind you
Don't burn, don't burn your bridges
I may never ever find you
Don't burn, don't burn the bridges
Leave a little blood,
I'm here to tell you
For the last time
Don't burn, it's gonna be bad
But baby, so long, I'm leaving
I don't wanna take a chance
on you no more
Baby, I thought it over,
and I don't think I want to go anywhere.
I want to stay here, right with you, baby.
Ooh.
Come on home, baby.
Come on back to me.
Sweet thing.
