[Intro Spoken]
Hey come in here woman sit down
Come here 'cause we gotta talk
I don't care oh you just tense baby
It gon' be all over tonight
And I don't even know where to start
No want you to try to understand something girl
Now just listen

In the beginning you know I tried
To make it work but you and I
Seems like I was always by myself
Like you didn't ever ever want to help
The strain you put on me you let me down
Can you tell me why?
After all I've done for you and us
You know I really hate to say it
But I gotta tell you something

I think I better leave (leave) you alone (alone)
So get your bags (yeah) and get the hell on (on)
See because I don't want you no more
I don't want you no more

I think you better leave (leave) me alone (alone)
So get your bags (yeah) and get the hell on (get gone)
Because love ain't here no more

I don't know if it hurts to hear me say
All of these words, but then again
I guess by now I really don't care
(Said I've waited much too long)
Oh, always thought that it could work
Thought it could be forever you and me
Tell me what happened to us
Wait a minute, don't sleep, 'cause right now
All I want to do is see..

You leaving (leave) me alone (alone)
Get your bag (yeah) get the hell on (on)
'cause I don't want you no more

Said I think it's time to leave (leave)
You alone (alone) get your bags (yeah)
Get the hell on (get gone)
'cause love ain't here no more

See I tried to do it right
Tried to make you see the light
All that I wanted, all that I needed
Was you in my life
(All I needed was you in my life, whoa)
Had me broke down and for what
Tried so many times
Forgot who the real me was
But it's alright, I said it's cool
'cause I'm getting rid of you

I think it's time to leave (leave)
Me alone (alone) get your bags (yeah)
Get the fuck on (on)
Because I don't want you no more

Said I think it's time to leave (leave)
Me alone (alone) get yourself and (yeah)
Get the hell on (Get gone)
Love ain't here no more

Oh leave (leave) me alone (alone)
Get your bags (yeah)
Leave the keys and the checkbook (on)
I don't want you no more
(See I've waited much too long)

It's time to leave (leave) me alone (alone)
Get your stuff and (yeah) get gone (get gone)
'cause love ain't here no more

You better get on (get on)
Get on (get on) get on (get on)
You ain't takin' advantage (get on)
Just get on (get on) get on




Get on, leave the credit card and leave (get on)
Said get on (get on)
