| Ooh, ooh, baby, yeah
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| Listen, baby
|
| Have to write you this letter
|
| To get something off my chest
|
| Never had the chance to tell you
|
| How I really felt
|
| When you up and disappeared
|
| Out of the blue
|
| You just left
|
| Guess you lied when you said
|
| «The only thing that could separate us was death»
|
| Cause you spread your wings
|
| Like a bird in the sky
|
| Kept pushing on
|
| Never slowing down or looking behind
|
| I had to find
|
| That you moved on
|
| Through the grapevine
|
| Cause you never say goodbye (ye-ye-ye)
|
| First, you told Tanika
|
| Tanika told Rashonda
|
| And Joy
|
| Then Joy told Vanessa
|
| Vanessa told LaTina
|
| That you were gone
|
| You were gone
|
| Everybody knew that you moved on
|
| Without me
|
| Without me
|
| Everybody knew that you moved on
|
| But me
|
| So much time has then since passed us by
|
| Since I last held you
|
| In these arms and called you mine, baby
|
| I still remember
|
| After the movies, we rode through the park, babe
|
| And we’d be sexin'
|
| Late in the booth after dark (ah)
|
| We’d take a shower
|
| Gently bathing one another (lover)
|
| Exploring each other’s bodies
|
| Like the first time
|
| Sided lovers
|
| And, oh, how it felt (uhn)
|
| When we engaged in the act
|
| Do I ever cross your mind like that?
|
| Oh, oh, ohhh, baby
|
| First you told Tanika
|
| Tanika told Rashonda
|
| And Joy
|
| Then Joy told Vanessa
|
| Vanessa told LaTina
|
| That you were gone
|
| You were gone
|
| Everybody knew that you moved on
|
| Without me
|
| Without me
|
| Everybody knew that you moved on
|
| But me
|
| First you told Tanika
|
| Tanika told Rashonda
|
| And Joy
|
| Then Joy told Vanessa
|
| Vanessa told LaTina
|
| That you were gone
|
| You were gone
|
| Everybody knew that you moved on
|
| Without me
|
| Without me
|
| Everybody knew that you moved on
|
| Uh, eh
|
| Oh, uh
|
| Oh, uh
|
| Oh, uh
|
| Oh, uh
|
| Oh, uh
|
| Oh, uh
|
| Oh
|
| Baby, baby, babe
|
| Oh, oh
|
| Oh, oh
|
| Oh, oh
|
| Baby
|
| Ah, ah
|
| Oh, babe
|
| Alright
|
| Oh
|
| Oh
|
| Ohh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh, babe
|
| First you told Tanika
|
| Tanika told Rashonda
|
| And Joy
|
| Then Joy told Vanessa
|
| Vanessa told LaTina
|
| That you were gone
|
| You were gone
|
| Everybody knew that you moved on
|
| Without me
|
| Without me
|
| Everybody knew that you moved on
|
| You left me standing alone in the cold
|
| I’m a man
|
| And a man ain’t supposed to cry
|
| About losing a woman
|
| I’d rather lay down and die |
