Bag lady you gone hurt your back
Dragging all them bags like that
I guess nobody ever told you
All you must hold on to
Is you, is you, is you
One day all them bags gone get in your way
One day all them bags gone get in your way
I said one day all them bags gone get in your way
One day all them bags gone get in your way
So pack light
Pack light
Pack light
Ooh, ooh
Bag lady you gone miss your bus
You can't hurry up
Cause you got too much stuff
When they see you coming
Niggas take off running
From you it's true oh yes they do
One day he gone say: You crowding my space
One day he gone say: You crowding my space
I said one day he gone say: You crowding my space
One day he gone say you crowding my space
So pack light
Pack light
Pack light
Ooh, ooh
Girl, I know sometimes it's hard
And we can't let go
Oh, when someone hurts you oh so bad inside
You can't deny it you can't stop crying
So oh, oh, oh
If you start breathing
Then you won't believe it
You'll feel so much better
(So much better baby)
Bag lady
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Ooh, ooh
Girl, you don't need it
I betcha love can make it better
Betcha love can make it better
Betcha love can make it better
(Need someone to love you right)
Betcha love can make it better
(I betcha love, betcha love)
Betcha love can make it better
Betcha love can make it better
Betcha love can make it better
Betcha love can make it better
(I betcha love, betcha love)
Betcha love can make it better
(I betcha love, I betcha love, oh)
Betcha love can make it better
Betcha love can make it better
(Oh)
Betcha love can make it better
Bag lady, hmm
Let it go, let it go, let it go, let it go
Girl, you don't need that, hmm
