I remember like it was yesterday
We were over Gwen's,
and we were trying one more time to make amends
Oh yes we were
Suddenly it occured to me it did not matter
Whether I was mad at her
Or she was at me
Nawww understanding my condition
I must surely be a wishing and a hoping to be free
She said, "You can leave, but it's going to cost you"
She said, "You can leave, but it's going to cost you"
She said, "You can leave, but it's gonna cost you dearly"
Ohhhhhhhhh, you can leave but it gonna cost you, ha! dearly
Sometimes your eyes were red as fire
Intoxicated
Sometimes your spirit was moving on me
you come to fight me
I had to fight to defend my life
I didn't mind it
you see, i find it
a bit'stimulating
that after fighting, we're making love
after all, you was my wife
hey, you can leave, but it's going to cost you
ooh, ooh, baby
that young girl is gonna cost you
ooh, baby, ooh baby
you won't have the rest, you've got to pay
ooh, baby
used to be the apple of my eye
used to be my heart's desire, my heart's desire, yeah
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone (get use to it baby)
I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone (get use to it baby)
You tried to have them shackle me
bring me in, tell me, what for?
so to satisfy you, baby
you have won the battle
aww, but daddy's gonna win the war!
I've always worked so hard
stood my ground and prayed
but she was still in position to upset the judge
you can leave, but it's going to cost you
You use to say that I was a gorgeous hunk of man...
That didn't help me baby when you were on the stand
