Lyrics: Brand New Heavies. Stay Gone.

No, you cannot stay for the night
I'm not your 'anytime you want me' delight
I've been healing both my body and mind
Found the courage that can free me this time

We're playin' by a new set of rules
And baby, these were not designed for some fool
No, see I've taken all that I'm gonna take
It's the rest of my life that's at stake

So, don't you come around drinkin'
High and thinkin', I'm gonna lay down
'Cause you're wrong, you're so wrong

I'm through with letting you walk in
Do the talkin', puttin' your hands where they don't belong
No, they don't belong

You can't just show up, use me
Lie and abuse me this time baby, stay gone
You can stay gone

I'm no longer falling apart
You see, I finally got you out of my heart, yeah
And if I ever think of takin' you back
You'll remind me how I feel about that

So, don't you come around drinkin'
High and thinkin', I'm gonna lay down
'Cause you're wrong, ah, you're damn wrong

I'm through with lettin' you walk in
Do the talkin' and puttin' your hands where you know they don't belong
No, no, no, they don't belong

You can't just show up, use me
Lie and abuse me this time baby, you, you, you, you
You can stay gone
You can stay gone, gone, gone, gone, baby

I don't need the smooth talk
On a good night, doin' just fine, doin' alright
Stay gone, I don't need you, no

I don't need the false hope
Or the bad dope or the rough love
Had enough of it, stay gone

You can't be a, a no show
When I'm real low, it's a no blow, it's a no go
Stay gone, stay gone, gone

Don't you come around drinkin'
Sad and steamin', baby, let me tell you
I won't work this time, it ain't gonna work, no

I'm tired of lettin' you hurt me
Scream and curse me, baby, that pain is
More than you're worth, more than you're worth, now

Today is gonna be my day
Find you a highway, hear me baby, stay gone
Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay gone, stay gone, stay gone, stay gone

You can stay, out there
Somewhere, I don't care, I don't care
Stay gone, you don't believe it

You can take a slow boat
Or a long road to a fast plane, to a slow train
Stay gone, stay gone, you can stay gone

Stay gone, stay gone, stay gone
I don't need your love, no, no, no, stay gone
