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 stayWe stay together putting the front on
I'd rather be on my own
When we first met things were fine
We went out to dineWe strolled the beach
Holding hands sharing quality time
What happened between then and now
The love we shared was lost somehowMy friends tried to tell me
That we're moving too fast
But how could I know the feelings would pass
It wouldn't lastI know I should have left a long time ago
But I stayed to see
Still hoping and praying you still love meGirl, 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 stayListen, I took you in treated your children as mine
Then we laid and made love
And you had my son what a precious timeI 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 doorI gave you all that I had
You didn't love me one ounce
So like a basket ball I gotta bounceGirl, 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 stayListen, baby can you tell me
Where I went wrong? yeah
All I ever wanted, baby, baby, baby
Was a happy home to call my ownI can't take no more
(No doubt)
So I'm telling you, bye bye, bye bye
Bye bye, bye byeGirl, 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 stayBreak 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, I'm mighty grateful
Love don't live here
(Love don't live here anymore)It's alright, it's okay
Gonna move on anyone
(I can move on)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahBaby you hurt me so bad
I gotta move on
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahI gotta go I gotta leave, baby
'Cause love don't live here
I think I leave it alone now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yahoo, hmm
