Story Behind The Song
A declaration of, "I have had enough." Freedom. Anyone who has been in a bad marriage, or relationship can relate to this song. And once you realize and make the decision to get out ... then it is time to, "Strut My Stuff".
Song Description
It's a fun little song that maybe an ANTHEM to all of us who have experienced the unfaithful partner and relationship that you finally realize is NOT meant to be.
But the ultimate joy of that decision and relief that now you have the world at your feet. You can do anything, go anywhere and love anyone is a most exuberating feeling of FREEDOM.

STRUT MY STUFF
Yeh , You Left Me
Yeh, You said Goodbye
I said so long darling
Don't wait for me to cry.
Yeh, You Left Me
And I'm all alone
But I can tell you darling
It won't be for long.

Well, I'm ready
I've had enough
Sit back - While I - Strut My Stuff

Well, I knew it.
Yeh, I know their names
Let me tell you Lover
Two can play that game
Well, I knew it
You know you're not that smart
Let me tell you Lover
You'll never break my heart

Yeh - Let me Thank You
Lord, I'm glad you're gone
Let me tell you Sweetheart

Yeh - Let me Thank You
No time to look back
Yeh, Let me tell you Sweetheart
You know you don't mean Jack

She said he's no damn good
So Goodbye Darling
You think you're misunderstood

He's just a snake in the grass
So Goodbye Darling
You can kiss my .... Well,
