Why Did She Have To Leave Me (Why Did She Have To Go?) The Temptations

[Intro]
Ooh-oh

[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, my girl and me
Shared our love so tenderly
Then came the day she said the words goodbye
If she only knew how she changed my life
She was my life, the world to me
But when she left, she took the best of me

[Chorus]
Oh, why did she have to leave me, why (Why did she have to say goodbye) (I wanna know why)
Oh, (I wanna know why) I want to know now
Girl (Girl come home, so I can dry wipe my weeping eyes) why don't you come on home, girl
I've been cryin' cryin', now listen

[Verse 2]
A shadow of man that’s all I am
Since that day my girl has been gone
Was it me oh what it could it be
Only yesterday I was king on the throne
Her whereabouts, I wished I knew
I want to her to know
That without her my life is blue
