All I ask from you is to be by myself.
Though I love you like nobody else.
I don't wish you no bad for doin' me wrong:
I wish you'd just leave me alone.

I refuse to talk about goodbye:
When it's over, it don't matter why.
So I'm lettin' go, and you're hanging on,
I wish you'd just leave me alone.

Ninety-nine years from now, who will care anyhow?
There's ninety-nine reasons to lie.

Just keep movin' on, 'cause our love is gone.
I don't blame you, just leave me alone.

Instrumental break.

Ninety-nine years from now, who will care anyhow?
There's ninety-nine ways I may be wrong.

Just give me this time, for me and my mind.
I don't blame you, just leave me alone.

Please, darlin', just leave me alone.
