Don’t leave me this way
– Kaua e waiho ahau i tenei ara
I can’t survive
– Kāore e taea e au te ora
I can’t stay alive
– Kāore e taea e au te ora
Without your love, no baby
– Ki te kore tōu aroha, kāore he pēpi
Don’t leave me this way
– Kaua e waiho ahau i tenei ara
I can’t exist
– Kāore e taea e au te tīariari
I will surely miss your tender kiss
– Ka tino mihi ahau ki to kihi ngawari
So don’t leave me this way
– Na kaua e waiho ahau i tenei ara
Aww, baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
– Aue, e te tamaiti, e ki ana toku ngakau i te aroha me te hiahia ki a koe
So come on down and do what you’ve got to do
– Na haere mai ki raro, me te mahi i te mea kua koe ki te mahi
You started this fire down in my soul
– I tīmata koe i tēnei ahi i roto i toku wairua
Now can’t you see it’s burning out of control?
– Na e kore e taea e kite koe i te reira e tahu i roto i te mana?
So come on down and satisfy the need in me
– Na haere mai ki raro ka makona i te hiahia i roto i ahau
‘Cause only your good loving can set me free
– ‘Na te mea ko to aroha pai anake ka taea te tuku i ahau kia haere noa
Don’t leave me this way
– Kaua e waiho ahau i tenei ara
I don’t understand how I’m at your command
– Kaore au I te mohio me pehea taku whakahaere i a koe
So baby please, so don’t you leave me this way
