After all I've done for you...
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time I must get away
This time you've gone too far
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time you've got to pay
This time you've gone too far
You runnin' 'round
With those nasty hoes
How long did ya think I could take this
You said to me
That's the way life goes
How long did you think I could take this
I should have known
Aw you weren't for real
But my love for you kept on strong
You betta know
You gonna miss my love
Now you know that i'm not still holdin' on
That's right all of my friends say
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time I must get away
This time you've gone too far
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time you've got to pay
This time you've gone too far
You've played the game
But you played yourself
Oh boy take a look at who's sorry now
You're not the same
Aw how you have changed
So now look at you
It's a damn shame
I don't care if I
Ever see your face again
You broke my heart one too many times
You think that I'm
I'm just not that strong
My bags are packed
Watch me walk right through that door
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time I must get away
This time you've gone too far
This time I'm not gonna stay
This time you've got to pay
This time you've gone too far
