Lyrics
Leavin You Behind
(verse)
I'm putting my foot, in front of the other.
I'm taking a step, then taking another.
Gonna walk out this door,
leave you behind, you and your sorry mess have played me for the last time.
(Chorus)
Cuz baby, I'm leaving you behind. I'm not gonna be your lover, I'm not gonna be your whore anymore.
(verse)
I'm taking a breath, then taking another,
Breathe the fresh air of freedom, and soon I'll discover,
A beautiful world, of freedom and choice,
Where I'll be happy, and not hear your voice.
(2nd Chorus)
cuz baby, I'm leaving you behind.
Cuz baby, I'm not that trashy kind
(Solo)
(Repeat 1st verse)
(Repeat 2nd chorus twice)
