Lyrics Toni Childs

Toni Childs

I've Got To Go Now

This man I married is buried deep

And the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps

I used to think I knew this man

The tenderness, not the back of his hand

It's been two weeks since he last had a drink

But the time bomb's ticking, I can never sleep

It would be easier if he did

Why do I stay here, stay with him?

Why do you do it?

Why do you treat us bad?

When you've got two kids who love you

And a wife that's missing you bad

I've got to go now

I've got to say goodbye

Don't try to stop us now

And please, don't you cry

Can't you see? We've all been through it

It's all been said before

With all these tears, for how many years

Can I keep coming back for more? No more

Must be addicted to all this pain

'Cause I keep coming back for the shame

Dear God, give me the strength to leave

I've got to keep going, keep going this time

Why do you do it?

Why do you treat us bad?

When you've got two kids who love you

And a wife that's missing you bad

I've got to go now

I've got to say goodbye

Don't try to stop us now

And please, don't you cry

Can't you see? We've all been through it

It's all been said before

With all these tears, for how many years

Can I keep coming back for more? No more

Don't try to stop us now

Don't pull that stuff on me

I've got the kids all packed up

Harry's in the back with his pick up truck

Jenny's fallen asleep again

I've got to keep driving 'til I reach the end

Why do you do it?

Why do you treat us bad?

When you've got two kids who love you

And a wife that's missing you bad

I've got to go now

I've got to say goodbye

Don't try to stop us now

And please, don't you cry

Can't you see? We've all been through it

It's all been said before

With all these tears, for how many years

Can I keep coming back for more? No more

Can't come back here anymore

And I know it, I know it

I, I can't come back here anymore

And I know it and I know it

I can't come back here anymore

And I know it and I know it

I can't come back here anymore

And I know it and I know it

I can't come back here anymore

And I know it and I know it

I can't come back here anymore

And I know it and I know it

I can't come back here anymore
