I Wanted You To Leave (Until You Left Me)

Somehow I had it in my head how I'd like bein' free

No one to have to cook for, no one hasslin' me

Carousin' around, painting the town, staying out the whole night through

Thought that I could have my cake and have a little icing too

I guess you sensed my restlessness, you said you understood

Maybe a change of scenery might do us both some good

But [?] suddenly, as blue as I could be

I wanted you to leave until you left me

Well, I wanted you to leave until you left me, oh yea

I wanted you to blow and then be gone

But all the days are draggin' by and nights are lonely too

I wanted you to leave, wanted you to leave

Wanted you to leave until you left me

Baby, won't you please forgive me? My loving you's not through

The big old empty bed I'm in is crying out for you

And all this lonely freedom ain't all misery

Well I wanted you to leave until you left me

Well, I wanted you to leave until you left me

I wanted you to blow and then be gone

But all the days are draggin' by, nights are lonely too

I wanted you to leave, never thought I'd breathe

Wanted you to leave until you left me
