I said, "I left my baby girl a message Sayin' won't be coming home, I'd rather be alone" She doesn't fully understand me That I'd rather leave than to cheat If she'll give me some time I can be the man she needs But there's a lot of lust inside of me And we've been together since our teenage years I really don't mean to hurt her but I need some time to be alone But when you love someone, you just don't treat them bad Oh, how I feel so sad now that I wanna leave She's crying her heart to me, "How could you let this be?" I just need time to see where I wanna be, where I wanna be Sweet little dee-do-dee-dee I don't mean to hurt you, baby, oh no, no Never did I imagine that you would play a major part In a decision that's so hard Do I leave? Do I stay? Do I go? I think about my life and what matters to me the most Girl, the love that we share is real But in time your heart will heal I'm not saying I'm gone but I Have to find what life is like without you But when you love someone, you just don't treat them bad Oh, how I feel so sad now that I wanna leave She's crying her heart to me, "How could you let this be?" I just need time to see where I wanna be, where I wanna be Sweet little dee-do-dee-dee I don't mean to hurt you, baby See when you love someone, you just don't treat them bad Oh, how I feel so sad now that I wanna leave And she's crying her heart to me, "How could you let this be?" And I just need time to see where I wanna be See when you love someone, you just don't treat them bad Oh, how I feel so sad now that I wanna leave And she's crying her heart to me, "How could you let this be?" And I just need time to see where I wanna be See when you love someone, you just don't treat them bad Oh, how I feel so sad now that I wanna leave And she's crying her heart to me, "How could you let this be?" And I just need time to see where I wanna be, where I wanna be I'm sorry, baby
