If You Need Me

If you need me, I'll be gone

The bed's still warm where you just left

But it'll be colder where I've slept

I've always been where you needed me

But I ain't the fool I used to be

You come home all hours of the night

The fragrance on you ain't old spice

Tonight when you come draggin' home

And find you need me, I'll be gone

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up

Gone like the dew from the buttercup

Gone like a woman treated wrong

If you need me, I'll be gone

So, what am I still doing here?

You've been doin' me wrong for years

Tired of pickin' up and puttin' out

I'm leaving you lock, stock, and house

So, bye, bye, baby

That's it, I'm packed

I'm a'leavin' now, but I'll call back

And leave this message on the code-a-phone

Sayin', if you need me, well, I'll be gone

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up

Gone like the dew from the buttercup

Gone like a woman leavin' home

If you need me, I'll be gone

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up

Gone like the dew from the buttercup

Gone like a woman leavin' home

If you need me, I'll be gone

I said, if you need me, I'll be gone

If you need me, I'll be gone

I said, if you need me, I'll be gone
