Somehow I had it in my head how I'd like bein' free
No one to have to cook for, no one hasslin' me
Carousin' around, painting the town, staying out the whole night through
Thought that I could have my cake and have a little icing too
I guess you sensed my restlessness, you said you understood
Maybe a change of scenery might do us both some good
But [?] suddenly, as blue as I could be
I wanted you to leave until you left me
Well, I wanted you to leave until you left me, oh yea
I wanted you to blow and then be gone
But all the days are draggin' by and nights are lonely too
I wanted you to leave, wanted you to leave
Wanted you to leave until you left me
Baby, won't you please forgive me? My loving you's not through
The big old empty bed I'm in is crying out for you
And all this lonely freedom ain't all misery
Well I wanted you to leave until you left me
Well, I wanted you to leave until you left me
I wanted you to blow and then be gone
But all the days are draggin' by, nights are lonely too
I wanted you to leave, never thought I'd breathe
Wanted you to leave until you left me
