After all I've done for you...
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time I must get away
This time you've gone too far
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time you've got to pay
This time you've gone too far
You're runnin' 'round
With those nasty hoes
How long did ya think I could take this
You said to me
"That's the way life goes"
How long did you think I could take this
I should have known
oh, you weren't for real
But my love for you kept on strong
You better know
You're gonna miss my love
Now you know that I'm not still holdin' on
That's right all of my friends say
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time I must get away
This time you've gone too far
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time you've got to pay
This time you've gone too far
You've played the game
But you played yourself
Oh boy take a look at who's sorry now
You're not the same
Oh, how you have changed
So now look at you
It's a damn shame
I don't care if I
Ever see your face again
You broke my heart one too many times, no,
You think that I'm
I'm just not that strong
My bags are packed
Watch me walk right through that door
This time I'm not gonna stay (really gone to far)
This time I must get away
This time you've gone too far
Walkin' round with those nasty hoes
Tellin' me
"
That's the way life goes" (Oh baby you've gone way
too far)
You think that I'm just not that strong
Watch me walk right through that door
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time you have got to pay
This time you have gone too far...
You're dismissed
