Can't Stay

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

You said things would change

But, girl, things are still the same

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

We stay together, putting the front on

I'd rather be on my own

When we first met things were fine, we went out to dine

We strolled the beach, holding hands, sharing quality time

What happened between then and now?

The love we shared was lost somehow

My friends tried to tell me

That we're moving too fast

But how could I know the feelings would pass?

It wouldn't last

I know I shoulda left a long time ago

But I stayed to see

Hoping and praying you still love me

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

You said things would change

But, girl, things are still the same

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

We stay together, putting the front on

I'd rather be on my own

(Listen) I took you in, treated your children as mine

Then we laid and made love

And you had my son, what a precious time

I did all that I could to get through to you

To let you know, girl, it's you I was living for

But you let your mind play games on you

Then when I'm not around

You think that I don't know

That you're passing time with the guy next door

I gave you all that I had

You didn't love me one ounce

So like a basketball, I gotta bounce

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

You said things would change

But, girl, things are still the same

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

We stay together, putting the front on

I'd rather be on my own

Listen, baby, can you tell me

Where I went wrong, yeah?

All I ever wanted, baby, baby, baby

Was a happy home I can call my own (Oh, oh)

I can't take no more (Bo doubt)

So I'm telling you

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

You said things would change

But, girl, things are still the same

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

We stay together, putting the front on

I'd rather be on my own

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

You said things would change

But, girl, things are still the same

Girl, I gotta go, I can't stay

We stay together, putting the front on

I'd rather be on my own

Break it down, break it down

'Cause I wanna talk to my people this evening, come on

And let 'em know, it takes a fool to learn (It takes a fool)

That love don't love nobody

That's why I can truly say in my heart

Love don't live here (Love don't live here anymore)

Good God Almighty, baby, you hurt me so bad

But oh, I'm mighty grateful

Love don't live here (Love don't live here anymore)

Oh-ooh

It's alright, it's okay

Gonna move on anyway (I can move on)

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, baby ,you hurt me so bad

I got to move on, yeah (I can move on)

Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, I gotta go, I gotta leave, baby

'Cause love don't, anymore (Love don't live here anymore)

I think I'll leave it alone now, love don't (Love don't live here anymore)
