You Can Leave, But It's Going To Cost You

I remember like it was yesterday

We were over at Gwen's

And we was trying one more time to make amends

Oh yes we was

Suddenly, it occurred 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 to be free

Oh but some say you can leave, but it's going to cost you

She said, "Yeah, 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

Ooh-ooh

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

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 (used to boogie, boogie down the road sometime)

She said, "You can leave, but it's going to cost you" (I used to talk about my love)

(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? Oh, ooh, baby)

That young girl is going to cost you

Ooh, ooh, baby

If you want happiness, you got to pay

Oooh baby, used to be the apple of my eye

I come to love you, fool (ooh baby)

I come to love you, baby (you used to be my heart's desire)

I come to love you, baby

I come to love you, baby (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)
