If You Leave

This was featured in the final scene of the John Hughes-directed movie Pretty In Pink, and OMD wrote it specifically for the film. Check out the If You Leave Songfacts, for an interview with Andy McCluskey of OMD about the song.

[Verse 1] If you leave, don't leave now Please don't take my heart away Promise me, just one more night Then we'll go our separate ways We've always had time on our side Now it's fading fast Every second, every moment We've gotta make it last [Chorus] I touch you once, I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd still be friends someday [Verse 2] If you leave I won't cry I won't waste one single day But if you leave don't look back I'll be running the other way Seven years went under the bridge Like time was standing still Heaven knows what happens now You've gotta say you will [Chorus] I'll touch you once, I'll touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd meet again [Chorus] I touch you once, I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd still be friends [Chorus] I touch you once, I touch you twice I won't let go at any price I need you now like I need you then You always said we'd meet again someday [Outro] If you leave If you leave If you leave Don't look back Don't look back
