Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We'd like to do our very latest recording
A little tune that said, simply this
[Verse 2]
Steve Barry
My main man
That's the one that took care of business on this
Let's give Steve a great big hand
Stand up, Steve
Would you do that?
You want to stand?
[Verse 3]
I shoulda stayed gone
When I left before
'Cause you do me wrong
When we're together
But I keep coming back
Oh, Lord, for more
[Verse 4]
When I leave this time
Make sure it's understood
That this time, I'm gone for good
Listen
[Verse 5]
The many times I've left you
But I couldn't stay away too long
I thank God for the strength
That He gave to me to leave home and still be strong
[Verse 6]
Now when I leave this time
Make sure it's understood
That this time, I'm gone for good
And they say
[Verse 7]
It's been warm outside
But for me, but for me
There's been no sunshine
It's so hard for me to leave you
Oh, but I finally made up my mind
[Verse 8]
When I leave this time
Make sure it's understood
That this time, I'm gone for good
[Verse 9]
This time, baby, Lord
I'm not gonna let you
Worry me no more
And this time, baby
Don't even say nothing to me, woman
Look out child
Oh, Lord, bye bye, baby
Oh, Lord, this time I'm gone
Oh, Lord
[Verse 10]
Oh baby
Oh, Lord
Save me, Lord
Oh, save me
Save, oh save me
I'd like to say, Lord, save me
Oh, Lord, let me tell you, look here
[Verse 11]
I live on a lonely avenue
It's all because of you
Would you mind sharin' encounter?
Everyday
Said I cry, yeah
[Verse 12]
Oh, I, I'd like to, Lord
Come cry
Oh, Lord
I'd like a word
[Verse 13]
Say it, Lord
Well now, can I get a witness out there, y'all?
Let me hear it from ya
I think I'll do it one more time
[Verse 14]
I shoulda stayed gone
When I left before
'Cause you do me wrong
When we're together
But I keep coming back
Oh, Lord, for more
[Verse 15]
Now when I leave this time
Oh, Lord, make sure it's understood
This time, I'm gone for good
This for you, mom
[Verse 16]
Many times I've left you
But I couldn't stay away too long
Otis
I thank God for the strength
That He gave to me to leave home and still be strong
[Verse 17]
And when I leave this time
Oh, Lord, make sure it's understood
That this time, I'm gone for good
[Verse 18]
It's been warm outside
Well, but for me, but for me
There's been no sunshine
It's so hard for me to leave you
Oh, but I finally made up my mind
[Verse 19]
When I leave this time
Oh, Lord, make sure it's understood
That this time, I'm gone for good
[Verse 20]
This time, baby, Lord
Oh, I'm not gonna let you worry me no more
Lord, this time baby, Lord
Don't even say nothing to me, woman
Because I'd like to say
Oh, Lord, bye bye, baby
Oh, Lord
This time I'm gone, yeah
Oh, Lord
