Lyrics
I’ve got a notion
To walk right out that door
Won't hear your pleading like I did before
You better wake up before we break up
I’ve got a notion
I’ve got a notion
I tried to please you
But still you broke my heart
When all I wanted was for you to do your part
There'll be no grieving
No, don’t deceive me
I’ve got a notion
I’ve got a notion
I can’t go on counting stars above
Crying at night
Yearning for your love
When you tease me
You think, you think that I feel fine
And if I stay here with you
I’m bound to lose my mind
Whoa, I’ve got a notion
To leave you by yourself
Give my devotion enough to someone else
Someone who needs me
Who won’t deceive me
I’ve got a notion
I’ve got a notion
I’ve got a notion
I’m gonna put you, I'll put you down
If you don’t stop your doggin’ me around
I love you, baby
I need you, baby
Well, I'm gon' have to say bye-bye
I need you, baby
I love you, baby
