Somehow I had it in my head
How I'd like being free
No one to have to cook for
No one hassling me
Carousing around
Painting the town
Staying out the whole night through
Something that I could have my cake
And have a little icing too, yeah
I guess you sensed my restlessness
You said you understood
Maybe a change of scenery
Might do us both some good
But you moved out and suddenly
As blue as I could be
Well, I wanted you to leave
Until you left me
Uh-huh
Well, I wanted you to leave
Until you left me, oh, yeah
Well, I wanted you to go and then be gone
But all these days are dragging by
And nights are lonely too
Wanted you to leave
Wanted you to leave
Wanted you to leave
Until you left me
Uh-huh
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
Same old misery
Well, I wanted you to leave
Until you left me
Uh-huh
Well, I wanted you to leave
Until you left me, uh-huh
Well, I wanted you to go and then be gone
But all these days are dragging by
And nights are lonely too
Wanted you to leave
Never thought I'll grieve
Wanted you to leave
Until you left me
Uh-huh
