I Go On
MC Lyte Lyrics

Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go
I have to leave immediately and there's no time to waste.

Bye Bye, bye bye, boy I'm thinkin' about leavin' U
I'm saying goodbye and moving on from this relationship.

Gotta get away, I gotta do it now
I need to escape this situation and do it immediately.

I gotta step into the sun, ha ha
I need to move towards a more positive and bright future.

You see I'm leavin' baby, on the midnight train to Georgia
I'm leaving this relationship behind and moving towards a new chapter in my life.

Nobody to blame I feel the same
I don't blame anyone for the end of this relationship, and I feel the same way about it ending.

Too many days filled with rain, I can't take the pain
There have been too many dark days and painful moments in this relationship, and I can't handle it anymore.

I must maintain
I need to keep going and stay strong despite the pain of leaving this relationship.

After all these years isn't it strange
It's odd to think that after all this time, I need to end things and move on.

That to remain sane I gotta make a change
In order to preserve my sanity, I have to make a change and leave this relationship.

I'm leavin my way
I'm choosing to handle this situation in my own way and leave on my own terms.

And you can't come out to play
You can't manipulate or control my decision to leave this relationship.

Don't you know it's gonna hurt so much inside
I'm aware that leaving this relationship is going to be painful and difficult.

And these are feelings you can't deny
The emotions surrounding this relationship ending are real and can't be ignored or denied.

And don't you know if you walk outside that door
If you leave me for someone else, I'll have to follow you and keep tabs on what you're doing.

Leavin' me for more, I guess I'll have to follow you
If you leave me for someone else, I'll have to make sure I'm not missing out on anything.

And I'll watch everything that you do baby
I'll be keeping an eye on you and what you're doing if you decide to leave me.

You gotta take it all away regardless of what I say
You're taking everything away from me and ignoring my feelings and opinions on the matter.

Don't you know I can't hear none of that
I'm not listening to your pleas and arguments to stay in this relationship.

Yeah maybe I'm a little cracked
I might be a little broken and hurt, but I still need to leave this relationship.

Once you find love as real as the sky above
When you find true love, it's as real and powerful as the sky above.

You know I'll want more
I'll always want more love and fulfillment in my life.

Cause I'm a part of everything you do
I'm so deeply connected to you that I impact and am impacted by everything you do in your life.

Hey girl I'm missin' you, yeah my heart broke right in two
I'm missing you and feeling heartbroken since the end of our relationship.

The pain hurt slowly, you're my one and only
The pain of losing you hurts more and more as time goes on - you were my one and only love.

Baby I want to be kissing you, smacking those lips until they fall in two
I still have strong feelings for you and want to express them through physical affection and passion.

I'm so lonely, girl I want to be kissin' you
I'm lonely without you and wish I could be kissing you and feeling close to you again.

You're not an OP like Bootsy but I still believe
You might not be as smooth or successful as Bootsy Collins, but I still have faith in our relationship.

Showed you all the tricks up your sleeve indeed
I've taught you everything you know about love and relationships.

I proceed with caution
I'm being careful and taking my time with this decision to leave the relationship and move on.

Got you thinkin' about the love that you lost but damn, I got to leave
I know you're thinking about the love that we once had, but I need to leave this relationship and move on.

No you can't go, I need to time grow
You can't come with me as I need time to grow and develop as a person on my own.

I'm ready and I'm heading toward the next plateau
I'm ready for the next chapter of my life and am moving towards new experiences and challenges.

If you see me uptown, Riverside Drive to me this babydoll, just walk on by
If you see me out and about in town, just leave me alone and let me move forward with my life without interference.

Bye bye, but I love you
I'm saying goodbye, but I still have love and affection for you.

I gotta go, I gotta leave
I need to leave this relationship and move on with my life.

Got to go, see ya
I have to leave, so goodbye and see you later.
