I'm On My Way
Me & My Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on my way
Why should I stay?

[Chorus]
I'm on my way
A want to live my life today
Why should I stay
When you don't even look my way?

Baby where were you when I called you last night?
Baby tell the truth about you and her
Where were you last night when I called you?
Were you too busy to pick up the phone for me?
Where were you last night when I needed you badly?
Where were you?

[Chorus]

Never been so wrong about someone in my whole life
Never felt so strong without you, without you
Now I know I was wrong when I called you
Now I'm too busy to squeeze you into my life
Let me drop you off where I found you
No way I can stay cause I'm on my way

[Chorus]

Baby stay away, I don't need you
Baby it's too late, I don't want you
And now I'm on my way





[Chorus]
