Brand New Heavies Stay Gone Lyrics

Stay Gone Lyrics

No, you cannot stay for the night

I'm not your anytime you want me delight

I've been healing both my body and mind

Found the courage that can free me this time



We're playin' by a new set of rules

Baby these were not designed for some fool

See, I've taken all that I'm gonna take

It's the rest of my life that's at stake



So, don't you come around drinkin' high and thinkin'

I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, you're so wrong

I'm through with letting you walk in, do the talkin'

Puttin' your hands where they don't belong, they don't belong

You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me

This time baby - stay gone, you can stay gone



I'm no longer falling apart

See, I finally got you out of my heart

And if I ever think of taking you back

You'll remind me how I feel about that



So don't you come around drinkin', high and thinkin'

I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, oh yeah damn wrong

I'm through with letting you walk in do the talkin'

Puttin' your hands where you know they don't belong, no, no they don't
belong

You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me

This time baby, you, you, you - you can stay gone

(You can stay gone...)



I don't need the smooth talk on a good night

Doin' just fine, doin' alright - stay gone

(I don't need you, no)



I don't need the false hope, or the bad dope

Or the rough love, had enough of it - stay gone



You can't be a no show, whem I'm real low

It's a no blow, it's a no go - stay gone, stay gone...gone



So don't you come around drinkin', sad and steamin'

Baby let me tell you

I won't work this time

It ain't gonna work no

Ain't gonna work no

I'm tired of letting you hurt me, scream and curse me

Baby, that pain is more than you're worth

Today is gonna be my day, find you a highway

Hear me baby, stay gone - you can stay gone



You can stay, out there, somewhere

I don't care, I don't care - stay gone

(You don't believe it)



You can take a slow boat or a long road

To a fast plane, to a slow train

Stay gone, stay gone - you can stay gone
