Well maybe in the mornin`, I don`t know
Baby don`t know, just how soon
But I`m leavin` you
Woman I`ve got to put you down
Well if you can`t treat me right
Ain`t no use for me hangin` around
Well you told me that you love me
You cross your heart to die
But I found out that wasn`t so
I`m leavin` you
Woman I got to put you down
Girl if you can`t treat me right
Ain`t no use for me hangin` around
Well early in the mornin` before I rise
You lay that role in your bloodshot eyes
You`s a mean little thing, meanest woman I ever seen
No matter how I try to treat you right
Still you`s a mean little thing
Well you told me that you love me
You cross your heart to die
But I found out, baby, bye bye
I`m leavin`
Woman I got to put you down
Well if you can`t treat me right
Ain`t no use for me hangin` around
Well early in the morning before I rise
You lay that role in your bloodshot eyes
You`s a mean little thing
Mean little thing as you can be
Well if you can`t treat me right
Still you`s a mean little thing
I`m leavin`
I`m leavin`
I`m leavin`
I`m leavin`
