He held you close and wiped your eye
Leave him Janie, leave him
But he's the one who made you cry
It's time for us to leave him

Leave him Janie, leave him
Oh, leave him Janie, leave him
Love is gone but life goes on
It's time for us to leave him

It'll tear you up to say goodbye
Leave him Janie leave him
But if you stay he'll bleed you dry
It's time for us to leave him

Leave him Janie, leave him
Oh, leave him Janie, leave him
Love is gone but life goes on
It's time for us to leave him

Just walk away with no regrets
Leave him Janie, leave him
That man is worse than loneliness
It's time for us to leave him

Leave him Janie, leave him
Oh, leave him Janie, leave him
Love is gone but life goes on
It's time for us to leave him
It's time for us to leave him
