Don’t Leave Me Now Lyrics
Ooh, babe, don't leave me now
[Verse 1: Roger Waters]
Don't say it's the end of the road
Remember the flowers I sent
I need you, babe
To put through the shredder in front of my friends
[Refrain: Roger Waters]
Oh, babe, don't leave me now
[Verse 2: Roger Waters]
How could you go?
When you know how I need you
(Need you, need you, need you, need you, need you, need you)
To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night
[Refrain: Roger Waters]
Oh, babe, don't leave me now
[Verse 3: Roger Waters]
How can you treat me this way?
Running away
Ooh, babe, why are you running away?
Ooh, babe
Ooh, babe
Ooh, babe
Ooh, ooh
Argh!

Well, a lot of men and women do get involved with each other for lots of wrong reasons, and they do get very aggressive towards each other, and do each other a lot of damage. I, of course, have never struck a woman, as far as I can recall, Tommy, and I hope I never do, but a lot of people have, and a lot of women have struck men as well, there is a lot of violence in relationships often that aren’t working. I mean this is obviously an extremely cynical song, I don’t feel like that about marriage now.
In an interview with Jim Ladd, Roger Waters reveals:
He’s talking to his old lady. ‘Don’t Leave Me Now’ is a very general song about men and women – some men and some women. The song of the surprised male who wonders why they finally leave after they’ve been treating each other badly for a very long a period of time.
