(feat. MC Lyte)



Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go (ooh)

Bout time  (ooh ooh) bout time  (ooh ooh)

Boy I'm thinking about leaving you

Gotta go, gotta go, 

Hey

Gotta go, gotta go



Gotta getaway

Gotta do it now

I gotta step into the sun, ha ha

You see I'm leaving baby, on the midnight train to Georgia

Nobody to blame, I feel the same

To many days filled with rain

I can't take the pain

I must maintain

After all these years

Isn't it strange

That to remain sane

I've gotta make a change



If you're thinking about moving away

And you can't come out to play

Don't you know it's gonna hurt so much inside

And all these feelings you can't deny

And don't you know that if you walk outside that door

Leaving me here howling for more

I guess I'll have to follow you (follow you)

And I'll watch everything that you do, baby



Gotta go, gotta go

Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 

Boy I'm thinking about leaving you

Gotta go, gotta go

Hey 

Gotta go, gotta go (ooh ooh)

Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 

Boy I'm thinking about leaving you

Gotta go, gotta go

Hey

Gotta go, gotta go

Oh yeah



So I see you've gotta ticket all the way

Regardless of what I say

Don't you know I can't hear none of that (mmm)

Yeah maybe I'm a little cracked (ooh)

Any if by chance we find love

As real as the sky above (yeah)

Gonna go all around the world

Cos I'm a part of everything you do baby

Baby I've got to go



Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time

Boy I'm thinking about leaving you

Gotta go gotta go (ooh ooh)

Hey

Gotta go, gotta go (ooh ooh)

Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 

Boy I'm thinking about leaving you

Gotta go, gotta go

Hey

Gotta go, gotta go



Baby I'm missing you

Yeah my heart broke right in two (mmm)

The pain hurts slowly 

You're my one and only (yeah)

Baby I wanna be kissing you

Smacking those lips until they fall in two (mmm)

I'm so lonely

Girl I wanna be kissing you



Gotta go, gotta go

Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 

Boy I'm thinking about leaving you

Gotta go, gotta go (I love you)

Hey

Gotta go, gotta go(ooh)

Bout time, but I love you, bout time, baby I love you

Gotta go, gotta go

Hey

Gotta go, gotta go (ooh)



You're not an (?OP) like Bootsie

But I still believe

Till you show all the tricks up your sleeve

Indeed I proceed with caution, got you thinking 

about the love that you lost

But damn 

I gotta leave you know

You can't go

I need time to grow

I'm ready and heading to the next plateau

If you see me uptown, Riverside Drive

Do me this baby dog

Just walk on by, this is life

(bout time (ooh ooh) bout time)

I've gotta leave

I've gotta go,

I've gotta leave

I gotta go

I gotta leave

I got to go
