Chorus:

Girl I gotta go, I can't stay

Said things would change

but things are still the same

Girl I gotta go, can't stay

Stay together puttin my front on

I'd rather be on my own

Verse 1

When we first met, things were fine

We out to dine

We strolled the beach

Holdin hands

Sharin quality time

What happened betwenn then and now

The love we shared

We lost some how

Background:

My friends try to tell me

Dave:

That we're mmovin too fast

but how was i to know

the feelings would past

It wouldn't last

I should've left a long time ago

But i stayed to see

Hopin and prayin you'd still love me

Chorus

Girl I gotta go, I can't stay

Said things would change

but things are still the same

Girl I gotta go, can't stay

Stay together puttin my front on

I'd rather be on my own

Verse 2:

I took you in

Treated your children as mine

Then we laid and made love

And you had my son

With our precious time

I did all that I could to get through to you

To let you know, girl it's you I was livin for

Background:

But you let your mind play games on you

Whenever I'm not around

Ya think that I don't know

That you're passin time with the guy next door

I gave you all that I had

You didn't love me one ounce

So like a basketball

I gotta bounce

Chorus

Girl I gotta go, I can't stay

Said things would change

but things are still the same

Girl I gotta go, can't stay

Stay together puttin my front on

I'd rather be on my own

Background:

Ah Ah Ah Ah

Dave:

Baby can you tell me

Where I, went wrong

All I ever wanted baby baby babe

Was a happy home (Background: Oh)

I can call my own (Background: Oh)

I can't take no more (Background: No doubt)

So I'm tellin you bye bye bye bye bye

Chorus

Girl I gotta go, I can't stay

Said things would change

but things are still the same

Girl I gotta go, can't stay

Stay together puttin my front on

I'd rather be on my own
