(verse 1)

I said i left my baby girl a message

Sayin' i won't be coming home

I'd rather be alone

She doesn't fully understand me

That i'd rather leave than to chill

If she gives me some time

I can be the man she needs

But there's a lot of lust inside of me

And we've been together since our teenage years

I really don't mean to hurt her, but i need some time

To be alone



(chorus 1)

But when you love someone

You just don't treat them bad

Oh, how i feel so sad

Now that i wanna leave

She's crying her heart to me

How could you let this be?

I just need time to see

Where i wanna be

Where i wanna be...



Sweet little dee-do-dee-dee...

I don't mean to hurt you, baby, oh, no, no...



(verse 2)

Never did i imagine

That you would play a major part

In a decision that's so hard

Do i leave, do i stay, do i go?

I think about my life and what matters to me the most

Girl, the love that we share is real

But in time your heart will heal

I'm not saying i'm gone

But i have to find what life is like

Without you



(chorus 1)



Sweet little dee-do-dee-dee...

I don't mean to hurt you, baby



(chorus 2) x 3

See when you love someone

You just don't treat them bad

Oh, how i feel so sad

Now that i wanna leave

She's crying her heart to me

How could you let this be?

And i just need time to see

Where i wanna be



Where i wanna be...
