I'm Gonna Leave You

Nina Simone · High Priestess Of Soul [2006]

I'm gonna leave you yes I'm gonna



I'm gonna leave you 'cos I wanna



And I'll go where people love me



And I'll stay there 'cos they love me



No more headaches, no more heartbreaks



I'm gonna leave you where I met you



I'm gonna leave you with your money



I want somebody to call me honey



I don't want gold rings



I wanna hear sweet things



I need affection and not protection



When you're teasing, you should be squeezing



I'm gonna leave you where I met you



Yes I'm pulled up with your person



And I'm pulled up with your person



And I waited getting frustrated



I'm old fashioned, I want my passion



So I'm leaving though I'm grieving



I'm gonna leave you where I met you



I'm gonna leave you



When you're teasing, you should be squeezing



I'm gonna leave you



I'm gonna leave you 'cos I'm gonna



Yes I'm gonna leave you 'cos I wanna



And I'll go where people love me



And I'll stay there 'cos they love me



No more headaches, no more heartbreaks



I'm gonna leave you where I met you



I'm gonna leave you with your money



I want somebody to call me honey



I don't want gold rings



I wanna hear sweet things



I need affection, not protection



When you're teasing you should be squeezing



I'm gonna leave you where I met you



Yes I'm pulled up with your person



And I'm pulled up with your person



And I waited getting frustrated



I'm old fashioned I need my passion



So I'm leaving though I'm grieving



I'm gonna leave you where I met you
