Although I am pretty sure a man wrote this song, Anne Murray wears it well. It's a classic "don't leave me baby, I'm sorry" tune, written post-argument, pre-bed, where the man (Anne's narrator) has realized he pushed the woman too far and now the woman wants out of the relationship.
The male narrator disingenuously begins using nature as an allegory, pleading the woman to stay, warning her that if she leaves him, the world will spin awry.
Funny, seems he should have thought about that before saying the words that hurt her. Also, notice how he is the one who initially said the cruel words ending this relationship - but once he starts pleading for the woman to stay, they "both" apparently said some. If you've ever been in an abusive relationship, you'll recognize these lyrics. Stay away from anyone who tells you them in prose.

I just dumped a guy who tried these lyrics on me.
@heatherfer I love it when woman sing songs we associate with male feelings, in fact woman do think like males a lot of the time. I know I do.
