Ashanti – Leaving lyrics
If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be, my baby

Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for a while
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Can't see me changin for awhile
Hope I could make it back around

Anything that I want I can get it, boy
You know you turn me on and on
That's why I switch my frame my mind
Of bein' there when you call; always on time
I'm lookin' to spread my wings and party
Everything and for everybody
Need my space, no time alone
It's like our hearts don't match no more

Still anything that you want, you can get it, boy
You know I still got love for you
(In court i plead the 5th my baby)

(Chorus)

Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for a while
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Can't see me changin for a while
Hope I could make it back around

When you was cheatin' me you probably thinkin'
I won't sense a thing,
But love got funny ways of catchin up to lies
Your lies can't look me straight in the eyes
I'm not surprised
That you can hurt me, baby
Though why me, baby?
Just let me breathe in i'll fly freely

If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be my baby

Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for awhile
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Can't see me changin for awhile
Hope I could make it back around

Yo, yo
Why in the world would you wanna leave me, girl
Is there somethin' out there
That you feel is better than what's here at home
And I know a bitch can do bad on her own
You're not alone the way you hurt me, baby
Shit why me, baby
I feel your pain a little
But I know that love is good
And as long as I let you go
That you feel the need to come back to me, baby
Who else gon' hold you and sex you crazy
R--U--L--E
Come on back and holla at me, baby

Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for a while
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Can't see me changin for a while
Hope I could make it back around

Baby, I just gotta let you go for now
Thought I could take it for a while
Maybe you'll make it back around
Baby, I just gotta live my life for now
Can't see me changin for a while
Hope I could make it back around

If you were me, what would you do
Always a lie and never the truth
Now as for me, I'm movin' on
You'll always be, my baby
