Lyrics

VERSE
Don’t close your eyes, put his face on me
When you whisper “I love you,” who do you see?
I can’t be the life you lived in the past
I wouldn’t if I could; some things you just can’t ask

CHORUS
(Now) I don’t want any leftover love
I just want a love to be certain of
I don’t want any more love hand-me-downs
No odds and ends, no losts and founds
No, I don’t want any leftover love

VERSE
Put him out of your mind; let him slide away
Don’t let his memory slip into today
I’m in the here and now; he’s in the past
And I want to be the one who loves you last

Repeat CHORUS

VERSE
When I feel the fire of your lovin’ touch
I need to know it’s only for us
I’m sure you were hurt when he set you free
But now I need to know your love is just for me

Repeat CHORUS

BRIDGE
I know you don’t mean to hurt me by thinking too much of him
We just can’t allow the past to let the light of love grow dim

Repeat CHORUS

TAG
I don’t want any leftover love
