| 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 |
