Baby I'm Gone
You always try and change me,
And everything I do…
Guess I’ve learned the hard way,
I’m not good enough for you.
So, Baby I’m gone…

You turn up your nose at me
And snicker at things I say.
But this time it’s my turn
To just turn and walk away…
So, Baby I’m gone

I thought I had a true love
Even tho you’ve hurt my pride,
And tho I do still love you,
These feeling I can not hide…
But Baby I’m gone

So you’ll know I’ve up and gone
When you hear the screen door slam
And you’ll not be changing me
Cus I am just who I am
And I’m up and gone,
Yes Baby I’m gone

Ya baby I’ve learned the hard way
That I’m not good enough for you
But I’m just tired of tryin
And you can say we’re through
Cuz Baby I’m gone

No you can not change me
For this I won’t abide
For I will always stay “just me”
With the way I feel inside
So Baby I’m gone

Chorus:
Yes I’m gone with all my sorrows,
We can forget about “our-tomorrows”
I’m tired of even trying,
cuz I’m tired of all this lying
That we could really make it…
So, No I just can’t fake it…
Baby I’m gone.
