Knock knock
who could it be could it be
my ex chicadee whos at the door
Standing in the rain
down on her knees in public
we smiled walking hand & hand
But behind closed doors things
were different 24/7
we were arguing & I tried
My best to be a better man
all of your friends
think I'm a crazy man
Cause that's the way
you portraited me to be
now I don't care
what you think
No cause you know
that I was good to you
and now I'm saying
(chorus)
I'm leaving you
shorty our days
are through wasted days
wasted nights with you
I'll be better off
without you
I tried my best
to make you understand
no no no
But you didn't I'm over iy
you'll realize
what you had and when you do
Don't come runn'n back
say'n you miss me you need me
that I'm your one and only
no all of my friends
Say I'm a simple man
And that's just how
I intended it to be now
I don't care
What you think
no cause you know
I gave my best to you
And now it's too late
I'm leaving you
(chorus)
