If you wanna leave, then just go
'Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you aint gonna love me and find me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go, go, go

'Cause I've been hangin on the telephone
Lines that you always told me, now I can't let go
I believed in them the last time, you warm me with your words
But now I'm tired and I'm getting cold, cold

If you wanna leave, then just go
'Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you aint gonna love me and find me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go, go, go
Turn the other cheek and go, go, go

'Cause every time I push
You hold me just close enough to keep
So pull your anchor up
And prepare to show or sail away, oohh

If you wanna leave, if you wanna leave, then just go

Cause I've been hangin on the telephone
Lines that you always told me, now I can't let go
I believed in them the last time, you told me you would try
But boy this is getting old, so old

If you wanna leave, then just go
'Cause I can't get no sun in your shadow
If you aint gonna love me and find me
Then I'm gonna turn the other cheek and go, go, go
Turn the other cheek and go, go, go

I'm better off alone
I'm better off alone
