Count The Days You're Gone

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You could've had me for a nickel

You could've held me for so long

You could've loved just a little

You could've had me for song

I won't throw good love after bad

'Cause I done all that before

You know you had for a little while

But you don't have me anymore

You took me for a loser

And you played games with my head

But it was almost worth, darlin'

But I'd rather live instead

You were sure to please me

You were my main squeeze

But I'm walking out the door

You know you had for a little while

But you don't have me anymore

Now if I say that I don't love you, I would be lying

But I say no, oh no I don't

If it will keep myself from crying, uh uh uh uh

You could've held me just a little

You could've held me all my life

I would've be oh so devoted

You could've had me for a wife

Oh I told you once and I told you twice

But this time I'm moving on

And if you don't believe I'm leaving, sugar

Count the days I'm gone

Oh I said one, two, three and four

You don't have me anymore

I said, oo, oo, oo-oo, oo

You don't have me anymore

Oh I said one, two, three and four

'Cause you don't have me anymore
