Lyrics for Song: Get Out And Stay Out
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Dolly Parton
I used to need you, but then I finally learned
I used to want you, but now the table's turned
I used to love you, now it's your time to squirm
I'm saying goodbye and I won't wait for your return.
So get out and stay out, I've finally had enough
Don't kiss me on your way out, it wouldn't move me much
You used me, abused me, you cheated and you lied
So get out and stay out, I'm taking back my life
I wonder what you'll do when I am not around
Now that your new love has up and let you down
You've always come crying to me throughout the years
To mend another broken heart and dry your selfish tears.
So get out and stay out, I'm moving on at last
Cause, I've been so foolish, but that was in the past.
I never thought I'd be the one to say goodbye
So get out and stay out, I'm taking back my life.
Dreams and plans are in the making
I just wish it was as simple as it sounds
Life is out there for the taking
Now that I'm unfettered and unbound
You get out and you stay out, I've finally had enough
Don't kiss me on your way out, it wouldn't move me much
You used me, abused me, you cheated and you lied
So get out and stay out, I'm taking back my life
I'm taking back my life
Taking it back my life
I'm taking it back
I used to need you
I used to want you
I used to love you, but now the table's turned.
