Leaving (Always On Time)

If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be my baby

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

Anything that I want I can get it, boy
You know you turn me on and on
That's why I switched my frame of mind
To be there when you call, always on time

I'm lookin' to spread my wings and party
Everything and for everybody
Give me space, no time alone
It's like our hearts don't match no more

Still anything that you want, you can get it, boy
You know I still got love for you
(You'd call, I'd leave with you)
Now baby

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

When you was cheatin' you was probably thinkin' I was
Sad to think, but love got bumpy catchin' up to lies
And your lies can't look me straight in the eyes
I'm not surprised

You hurt me, baby
Don't bother me, baby
Just let me breathe and have my freedom

If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be my baby

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

Yo', yo'
Why in the world would you wanna leave me, girl
Is there somethin' I did
The truth is that you was here at home
And I know a b**** can do bad on her own
You're not alone the way you hurt me, baby
S*** why me, baby
I'll free your pain
But little did I know that love was good
And as long as I let you go
That you'll feel the need to come back to me, baby
Who else can hold you and sex you crazy
R-U-L-E
Come back and holler at me, baby

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

Baby, I just have to let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just have to live my life for now
Can't seem to change it for awhile
Hope that we could make it back around

If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be my baby
