IF YOU LEAVE

(THOU SHALL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT)

Chorus 1 (DC):
If you leave her, I'll leave him
We'll pack our bags, don't say a word
Let's go far away to another place
Let's hide away, oh just you and me

I peeped game long time ago when he told me
He's never seen the chick before
He wouldn't give me no explanation
'Cause he knows when I pack my bags it ain't for no vacation so
I'm gonna do my thing, I'm leaving his ass alone
I'm gone, oh I'm moving on my way, I'm gone
He's history (he's history)
Too late, the game is over
He'll see a girl's gotta do what she's gotta do

CHORUS 1

Next:
I called 612-555-2422 to find you
I packed my bags, gassed up the Jag
And told my dad you're the finest girl I never had
And so my lady left a message said "page me"
I know it might sound crazy but say you'll be my baby
She crashed my new Benz, slept with my best friend
Spent all my ends, it's got to end

All:
Oooh, how do I know you won't hurt me like he has?
I know you're afraid he'll call me back
You gotta have faith in me
You know I do
I'd never play ya baby
'Cause my love is all right
It's all you'll ever need
'Cause I need someone for me
This love was ment to be
It's our destiny
Just run away with me, oooh

Chorus 2 (Next):
If you leave him, I'll leave her
We'll pack our bags, don't say a word
Let's go far away to another place
Let's hide away, oh just you and me

CHORUS 1 & 2
