I shoulda stayed gone

When I left before

′Cause you do me wrongWhen we're together

But I keep coming back

Oh, Lord

But when I leave this time

Make sure it′s understood

That this time, I'm gone for good

Many times I've left you

But I couldn′t stay away too long

Thank God for the strength He gave e

To leave home and still be strong

When I leave this time

Lord, make sure

It′s understand that

This time, I'm gone for good

It′s been warm outside

But for me, but for me

There's been no sunshine

So hard for me to leave

But I finally made up my mind

So when I leave this time

Make sure it′s understood

That this time, I'm gone for good

I gotta leave you, girl

I ain′t gonna let you

Worry me no more

Just make sure it's understood

That I'm gonna leave for good

So this time when I leave

Make sure it′s understood

This time I′m gone for good

The next time you see me

I will be walking out that door

I'm gone
