Lyrics for Song: You Can Leave But It's Going To Cost You
Lyrics for Album: Here, My Dear [1978]



I remember like it was yesterday

We were over Gwen's,

and we were trying one more time to make amends

Oh yes we were



Suddenly it occured to me it did not matter

Whether I was mad at her

Or she was at me

Nawww understanding my condition

I must surely be a wishing and a hoping to be free



She said, "You can leave, but it's going to cost you"

She said, "You can leave, but it's going to cost you"

She said, "You can leave, but it's gonna cost you dearly"

Ohhhhhhhhh, you can leave but it gonna cost you, ha! dearly



Sometimes your eyes were red as fire

Intoxicated

Sometimes your spirit was moving on me

you come to fight me

I had to fight to defend my life



I didn't mind it

you see, i find it

a bit'stimulating

that after fighting, we're making love

after all, you was my wife



hey, you can leave, but it's going to cost you



ooh, ooh, baby

that young girl is gonna cost you

ooh, baby, ooh baby

you won't have the rest, you've got to pay

ooh, baby

used to be the apple of my eye

used to be my heart's desire, my heart's desire, yeah



I'm gone,I'm gone,I'm gone (get use to it baby)

I'm gone,I'm gone,I'm gone (get use to it baby)



You tried to have them shackle me

bring me in, tell me, what for?

so to satisfy you, baby

you have won the battle

aww, but daddy's gonna win the war!



I've always worked so hard

stood my ground and prayed

but she was still in position to upset the judge



you can leave, but it's going to cost you



You use to say that I was a gorgeous hunk of man...

That didn't help me baby when you were on the stand
