You Should Be Gone Lyrics

You Should Be Gone lyrics

I don't know why you want me

I just can't see

If you'd done half the things

I'd done to you to me, I'd walk away

Leave without a trace, I couldn't stay



'Cause you keep hangin' on

And I keep doin' you wrong

And the cards and the stars all say

You should be gone



All day your phone keeps ringin'

Offers come constantly

And I don't know who keeps callin'

One thing's for sure it isn't me

'Cause I don't have the time to play the fool



'Cause you keep holdin' on

And I keep stringin' you along

And there ain't no reason to stay

You should be gone



Sometimes I wonder

How you live with my mistakes

Sometimes I wonder

How many more I'll have to make



Well, I know your father hates me

And I can't say he's to blame

'Cause if you were my daughter not my lover

Well, you know I'd probably feel the same

Your friends all hate me too but that's okay



'Cause you keep hangin' on

And they keep callin' me a bum

And everybody knows but me

You should be gone



And the cards and the stars all say

You should be gone

And by the time I finish this song

You'll probably be gone
