Chorus

Girl I gotta go I can't stay

You said things would change

But girl things are still the same

Girl I gotta go I can't stay

We stay together putting the front on

I'd rather be on my own



When we first met things were fine

We went out to dine

We strolled the beachholding hands sharing quality time

What happened between then and now

The love we shared was lost somehow

(my freinds tried to tell me)

That we're moving too fast

But how could I know the feelings would pass

It wouldn't last

I know I should have left a long time ago

But I stayed to see

Still hoping and praying you still love me



Chorus (x2) (ad lib)



Listen

I took you in treated your children as mine

Then we laid and made love

And you had my son what a precious time

I did all that I could to get through to you

To let you know girl it's you I was living for

(but you let your mind play games on you)

Then when I'm not around

You think that I don't know

That you're passing time with the guy next door

I gave you all that I had

You didn't love me one ounce

So like a basket ball I gotta bounce



Chorus (ad lib)



Bridge

Listen

Baby can you tell me

Where I went wrong yeah

All I ever wanted baby baby baby

Was a happy home (ohhh) to call my own (ohhh)

I can't take no more (no doubt)

So I'm telling you

Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye



Chorus (x2)(ad lib)



Break it down

Break it down

Uhmmmm

Cause I wanna talk to my people this evening

Come on

And let em know it takes a fool to learn (it takes a fool)

That love don't love nobody

That's why I can truly say in my heart

Love don't live here (love don't live here anymore)

Good God almighty

Baby you hurt me so bad

But ohh I'm mighty grateful

Love don't live here	(love don't live here anymore)
