Don't waste any more time explaining why you can't be mine
My ears never listen, but my heart does
And I don't blame or honor you for all the pain you've put me through
I choose to take it, now I'm leavin'

But take your time in leavin'
And get all the love you're needin'
And anything else you might ever want from me
When you look back tomorrow
I'll be gone and you can't borrow
Beg or steal enough persuasion to get through to me

Now you are finding all that stuff, I'm quite sure I've had enough
Pack it up and take it on home to her
She must really love you, man, she'll tolerate more than I can
I'll advise you strongly to hold on to her

But take your time in leavin'
And get all the love you're needin'
And anything else you might ever want from me
When you look back tomorrow
I'll be gone and you can't borrow
Beg or steal enough persuasion to get through to me

But take your time in leavin'
And get all the love you're needin'
And anything else you might ever want from me
When you look back tomorrow
I'll be gone and you can't borrow
Beg or steal enough persuasion to get through to me
