Hate to See You Go

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.
