After six months of living with him
She thinks I gotta get myself an interest
Trying to get over what’s gone before
But no one told her you never get over
You just learn to live with it
She got no bow and arrow, army pants and pigtails
She ain’t got to be no one’s dolly and at nobody’s whim
She got her shoes, her blues, her big red heart
She walks to the door and she says
“I’m going now, goodbye
Babe, I won’t miss you
It was a long road but it’s a fine time
To get myself a little respect”
“Na na na
Na na na
Na na na
Said I’m going now, goodbye
Babe, I won’t miss you”
He always thought that if she lost the plot
She couldn’t get back up and find herself a new way
Oh, what a hypocrite he turned out to be
And now he’s watching 24-hour shopping TV
And she refused to lose to bruise
Boo hoo, you fool, you misconstrued her
She walks to the door and she knows
She’ll never look back, never look back, she says
“I’m going now, goodbye
Babe, I won’t miss you
It was a long road but it’s a fine time
To get myself a little respect”
“Na na na
Na na na
Na na na
Said I’m going now, goodbye
Babe, I won’t miss you”
She didn’t crumble
And now he’s feeling kinda sore
He was a fool to think
He was her backbone
Said, I’m going now, goodbye
Babe, I won’t miss you
It was a long road but it’s a fine time
To get myself a little respect
I won't miss you
I said, I’m going now, goodbye
Babe, I won’t miss you
It was a long road but it’s a fine time
To get myself a little respect
Na na na
Na na na
Na na na
I said, I’m going now, goodbye
Babe, I won’t miss you
Na na na
Na na na
Na na na
It was a long road but it’s a fine time
To get myself a little respect
Na na na
Na na na
