Lyrics

I Really Must Be Going

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.

Oh

There's something I think I should tell you

I mean I was just passing by

I really think you mistake me

For someone who could tell you why

I always walk straight and narrow

I never wanna hurt no one

This feels like someone else's party

And mama told me not to come

So if you don't mind

Hey I really must be going now

I really can't stay

I really gotta be going now

Hey hey hey

I really must be going now

I can't hear my intuition

Through all this pounding in my brain

I bought and paid my tuition

That's supposed to keep me sane

So if you don't mind

Hey I really must be going now

I really can't stay

I really must be going now

Hey hey hey

I really gotta be going now

I must be going now

I gotta be going now

I must be going now

Yeah
