Alright, if you don't believe I'm leaving
Just count the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)
If you don't believe I'm leaving
Just count the days I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)
I gave you my heart, you gave me hurt
I gave you my sugar, and all you did was give me dirt
You said that I wouldn't have the nerve to leave ya
And if I did, I'd be the one to grieve, yah
Well, if you don't believe I'm leaving
Just count the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)
Go ahead, get you pen and paper
If you don't believe that I'm leaving you
Then count the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)
No more tears, I got someone new
To do the things that you refused to do
And see, a woman needs care, love and protection
But I could never find you when I needed affection
If you don't believe I'm leaving
Just count the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)
I'll be gone for long boy
Oh you
You won't have the chance again
To treat me wrong
It's been a, a long, long time coming
And I'll be a, a long, long time gone
And if you don't believe I'm leaving
Just count the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)
'Cause I'll be gone for a long one
If you don't believe that I'm leaving
Count the days, the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)
If you don't believe that I'm leaving you
You better get a pen
You better get some paper
And a calculator
If you don't believe that I'm leavin' ya
Then you're miss sorely mistaken, boy
Don't wait up on me!
Yeah, if you don't believe I'm leaving you
You got a shock coming
If you don't believe I'm almost through
You got a shock, a shock coming, boy
Oh, if you don't believe I'm leaving
If you don't believe I'm not grieving
If you don't believe me, boy
Then you're, what we call, in denial
