I remember like it was yesterday |
|
We were over Gwen's |
|
And we was trying one more time to make amends |
|
Oh yes we was |
|
Suddenly it occured to me it did not matter |
|
Whether I was mad at her |
|
Or she was mad at me |
|
Naw, babe |
|
Understanding my condition |
|
I must surely be a-wishing |
|
and a hoping too be free |
|
Some said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
She said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
Yeah, she said, you can leave, but it's gonna cost you dearly, oh |
|
You can leave, but it's going to cost you, hah, dearly |
|
Sometimes your eyes was red as fire |
|
Intoxicated |
|
Sometimes your spirit was moving on me |
|
Begun to fight me |
|
I had to fight to defend my life |
|
I didn't mind it, you see I find it |
|
a bit a stimulating |
|
That after fighting |
|
We're making love |
|
Ooh baby, ooh baby, ooh baby |
|
Cause after all, you was my wife |
|
Hey, you can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
(do you still boogie? boogie down the road sometimes?) |
|
She said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
She would try to put me down, she used to bully |
|
She said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
(I used to sing this song and dance around) |
|
She said, you can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
{Mr. man, what's going down) |
|
That young girl is going to cost you |
|
If you want happiness, you got to pay |
|
Oooh baby, used to be the apple of my eye |
|
How come you love me baby? |
|
How come you love me baby? |
|
You used to be my heart's desire |
|
My heart's desire, yeah |
|
I'm gone, get used to it, baby |
|
I'm gone, get used to it, baby |
|
I'm gone, get used to it, baby |
|
I'm gone, get used to it, baby |
|
I'm gone, get used to it, baby |
|
I'm gone, get used to it |
|
I'm gone, get used to it, baby |
|
I'm gone, get used to it |
|
You tried to have them shackle me, bring me in - tell me what for? |
|
So to satisfy you baby, you have won the battle - |
|
Oh but Daddy's gonna win the war |
|
Lawyers worked so hard |
|
Tryin'a take my riches |
|
Rich things, too |
|
Trying to sell my home, tryin to take my life, and my child too, you don't care |
|
Tryin to upset my woman, examinin my soul! But I was strong, baby |
|
Stood my ground and prayed, asked the Lord to help - |
|
Wish he was in a position to upset the judge |
|
You can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
You can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
You can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
You can leave, but it's going to cost you |
|
You use to say that I was a gorgeous hunk of man |
|
That didn't help me baby |
|
Ah, when you was on the stand |
|
You can't have happiness until you break me, and make me happy too baby |
|
You can leave but it's going to cost you |
|
You can't have peace of mind, until I get mine |
|
You can leave but it's going to cost you, Marvin |
|
You can't have no jewelry - think about them first. |
|
You can leave, but it's going to cost you Marvin. |
