I couldn't afford to leave
But found it hard to stay
But I gotta move on
I just gotta get away
This man doesn't love me
Coming home late at night
Deep in my heart
I know things just ain't right
I gotta find me a man
That's gonna care for me
Give me love and affection
And come home to me
I couldn't afford to leave
But found it hard to stay
But I gotta move on
I just gotta get away
I just cant take the games
This man wanna play
But im packing my bags
Im leaving this place
I know this time
I'll make a better pick
I won't be so blind
Or be so quick
I couldn't afford to leave
But found it hard to stay
But I gotta move on
I just gotta get away
I'm gonna find a man
That's gonna stand by me
And care for my heart
Ohhh so tenderly
Who will Hold my hand
When he see im in need
That will hold me tight
When he see me grieve
I couldn't afford to leave
But found it hard to stay
But I gotta move on
I just gotta get away
I couldn't afford to leave
But found it hard to stay
But I gotta move on
I just gotta get away
