If You Want to Leave

Daddy (Wassup boy?)

I need to tell you somethin' (What you gotta tell me?)

You ain't gon' get mad at me, huh? (I ain't gon' get mad at you, boy)

I heard mama talkin' on the phone to another man  (Is that right?)

While you was at work, daddy (She prolly was talkin' to a coworker or somethin')

No daddy, I think they was talkin' 'bout meetin' up (Meetin' up, oh yeah?)

But why, why mama ain't happy, daddy? (I don't know, son)

Why mama wanna leave? ( I don't know)

You a good man, you pay all the bills, you make sure we got food on the table, what's wrong with her, daddy?

(Man, don't worry about it. everything gon' be all right, son, everything gon' be all right)

I know I might get in trouble but I'ma ask mama, I'ma ask mama why she treat you the way she do

'Cause if she ain't happy here, she needs to let you go be happy

Ain't I right daddy, huh, daddy? (Yeah, you right son, you right)

Ain't I right? (You right son, you right)

If you want to leave me

Go ahead and go on

See, I'm a good man, baby (Ow-ey, baby)

And good men don't stay single long (We don't stay single long)

Say, if you want to leave me

Go ahead and go on

See, I'm a good man, baby (Ow-ey, baby)

And good men don't stay single long (We don't stay single long)

Never once did I do you wrong

I tried my best to keep a happy home

But you want to leave

I worked my fingers to the bone

Bought you everything that you want

But you want to leave (She still want to leave)

And I'll be lyin' if I say I won't cry

But someone else will come and dry my eyes

The moment that you leave (She waitin' on me)

And I'm not sayin' this to make you stay

You can get up and get on your way

Just leave me my keys (Just give me my keys)

Ohh, if you want to leave me

Go ahead and go on

See, I'm a good man, baby (Ow-ey, baby)

And good men don't stay single long (We don't stay single long)

Say, if you want to leave me

Go ahead and go on

See, I'm a good man, baby (Ow-ey, baby)

And good men don't stay single long (We don't stay single long)

There for the gains of another man

And now my son, he don't understand

Why you wanna leave

Mama said you would turn me blue

'Cause you still had some runnin' in you

But I didn't believe

The things you do for a part-time lady

They gon' come back and hunt you some day

Just wait and see

If you would sacrifice my son's delight

You ain't worthy of bein' my wife

Go ahead and leave

Ohh, if you want to leave me

Go ahead and go on

See, I'm a good man, baby (Ow-ey, baby)

And good men don't stay single long (We don't stay single long)

Say, if you want to leave me

Go ahead and go on

See, I'm a good man, baby (Ow-ey, baby)

And good men don't stay single long (We don't stay single long)

Hey look, I'm not even mad at you for what you tryin' to do

'Cause all I ever want for you was you to be happy

And if this gon' make you happy, go with your move

I won't be bitter

'Cause a man can't keep nothin' that don't want to be kept

So I just want you to know one thing

I'ma be good

Hey, if you want to leave me

Go ahead and go on

'Cause I'm a damn good man, baby (Ow-ey, baby)

And I won't stay single long (We don't stay single long)

Hey, if you don't want me (If you want to leave me)

Go ahead and go on

'Cause I know I'm a damn good man, baby (Ow-ey, baby)

And I won't stay single long

Hey, hey
