It's been 24 hours since I heard you on the phone
Pleading with your mom, saying, "Can you come back home?"
You say you're not happy here all we do is fuss and fight
Said you need to get away 'cause I don't treat you rightGo on and leave, do what you gotta do
Sorry for the pain and the misery I brought to you
See that you're not happy here, I'll always be here for you
If you gotta leave me, girl, then do what you gotta doSee it cuts me like a knife to listen to your lies
After all I've done for you, you're still not satisfied
You forgot to tell your mom how I treat your kids like mine
How they're never ever hungry and their clothes are made designGo on and leave, do what you gotta do
Sorry for the pain and the misery I brought to you
See that you're not happy here, I'll always be here for you
If you gotta leave me, girl, then do what you gotta doYou know I love you and I want you to stay
'Stead of dealing with your problems
Feel the need to run away
I can't hold you if you don't wanna be here
So I gotta let you go, my dear, my dearGo on and leave, do what you gotta do
Sorry for the pain and the misery I brought to you
See that you're not happy here, I'll always be here for you
If you gotta leave me, girl, then do what you gotta doGo on and leave, do what you gotta do
Sorry for the pain and the misery I brought to you
See that you're not happy here, I'll always be here for you
If you gotta leave me, girl, then do what you gotta doGo on and leave, do what you gotta do
Sorry for the pain and the misery I brought to you
See that you're not happy here, I'll always be here for you
If you gotta leave me, girl, then do what you gotta doGo on and leave, do what you gotta do
Sorry for the pain and the misery I brought to you
See that you're not happy here, I'll always be here for you
If you gotta leave me, girl
