About Thelma Houston
Thelma Houston is a soul singer-songwriter and actress. She has released records on Capitol and ABC/Dunhill. It was a chance meeting in the early 1970’s with Motown Records which lead to a deal on the Motown subsidiary Mo-West Records. Like her past work, critics loved it but lack of promotion held her back from becoming a huge star, even though people were comparing her as the next Aretha Franklin.
Constant touring and background vocal work kept the money coming in, but she remained strong. Read more on Last.fm
Lyrics for Don't Leave Me This Way by Thelma Houston:
Don’t leave me this way
I can’t survive
I can’t stay alive
Without your love, oh baby
Don’t leave me this way, no
I can’t exist,
I’ll surely miss
Your tender kiss
Don’t leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
Now come on down and do what you’ve got to do
You started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning, out of control
Come on and satisfy the need in me
‘Cause only your good lovin’ can set me free
Don’t, don’t you leave me this way, no
Don’t you understand
I’m at your command
Oh baby please, please don’t leave me this way, no baby
Don’t leave me this way, no
I can’t survive
I can’t stay alive
without your love
baby, don’t leave me this way
Oh baby, my heart is full of love and desire for you
So come on down and do what you’ve got to do
You’ve started this fire down in my soul
Now can’t you see it’s burning, out of control
So come on satisfy, the need in me
Cause only your good lovin’ can set me free
I need your lovin’ baby, need it, need it
Satisfy, the need in me, satisfy the need in me
Hey, hey baby come on satisfy the need in me
Baby, come on satisfy the need in me
Don’t leave me this way, don’t leave me this way
No, don’t leave me this way, no don’t leave me this way, baby
Don’t leave me, don’t leave me this way, baby
