| I’ve cried both night and day,
|
| You’ve always had your way;
|
| But now you’re leavin,'
|
| You’re goin' away to stay.
|
| What grieves my weary mind
|
| I’ve been so good and kind;
|
| If you had to leave me,
|
| Why did you wait till today?
|
| When you’re leavin' me, pretty baby,
|
| Someone else will take your place;
|
| For many years, I’ve long been waiting,
|
| Just anyplace with so much grace,
|
| Some place like a millionaire,
|
| Lord, I do declare,
|
| With my dainty figure and my baby stare,
|
| So if you’re leavin' me, pretty baby,
|
| Someone else will take your place.
|
| I said, you’re leavin' me, pretty baby,
|
| Someone else will take your place.
|
| For many years I’ve long been waiting,
|
| Just anyplace with so much grace,
|
| So if you didn’t want me,
|
| Tell me to my face,
|
| 'Cause five or six women long to take your place,
|
| If you’re dissatisfied and feel like leavin'
|
| Someone else will take your place.
|
| Hit that thing, big boy!
|
| When you’re leavin' me, pretty baby,
|
| Someone else will take your place.
|
| For many years I’ve long been waiting,
|
| Anywhere with so much grace,
|
| So have a drink,
|
| You’re in for fun,
|
| The chance is gone, you might be wrong,
|
| If you’re dissatisfied and feel like leavin'
|
| Someone else will take your place. |
