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
