Intro:

If you need me, i'll be gone



The bed's still warm where you just left

But it'll be colder where i've slept

I've always been where you needed me

But i ain't the fool i used to be



You come home all hours of the night

The fragrance on you ain't old spice

Tonight when you come draggin' home

And find you need me, i'll be gone



1st chorus:



I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up

Gone like the dew from the buttercup

Gone like a woman treated wrong

If you need me, i'll be gone



So, what am i still doing here?

You've been doin' me wrong for years

Tired of pickin' up and puttin' out

I'm leaving you lock, stock, and house



So, bye, bye, baby

That's it, i'm packed

I'm a'leavin' now, but i'll call back

And leave this message on the code-a-phone

Sayin', if you need me, well, i'll be gone



2nd chorus:



I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up

Gone like the dew from the buttercup

Gone like a woman leavin' home

If you need me, i'll be gone



Repeat 2nd chorus



I said, if you need me, i'll be gone
