You loved me and you made me what I am today
You loved me and you gave in every single way
You loved me and you gave it all so tenderly
You loved me and I'm a telling you now on bended knee
I'm a leavin' you baby
Mmm yeah
I'm a leavin' you baby

I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face
I was nowhere and you gave me a home and a restin' place
I was nothing and you gave me something to live for
I was nowhere
I wanna tell you now like never before

I'm a leavin' you baby
I'm a leavin' you baby
Oh yeah

I was dirty and you took me home and washed my face
I was nowhere and you gave me a home and a restin' place
I was nothing, nothing and you gave me something to live for
I was nowhere
And I'm feelin' it now like never before

Mama I'm a leavin' you baby
Mmm

Time and time await
