Now I'm Gone

[Intro]

Monica, baby, I'm sorry

I know I was wrong, but I think we can work it out

Just try to hear me out

Nah, you hear me out

[Verse 1]

I gave you so much love, but you had to play with my affections

My heart was in your hands, but you had to play with all my feelings

You got your mack on, but now I'm gone

'Cause I'd rather be all alone

Away from all these silly games

[Chorus]

Because I gave you no reason why

But you said to do your thing on the side

But now I'm gone

'Cause it will never be the same

You were busy kickin' it with your boys

Instead of taking care of your girl

But now I'm gone

Gone away from you (Ahh)

[Verse 2]

I thought I knew you well

But you ran away, didn't care about me

You told so many lies

Thought you could run away from this thing called reality

But I'm long gone, I gotta go on

There's someone waiting for me

To love me honestly

[Chorus]

But you know I gave you no reason why

But you said to do your thing on the side

But now I'm gone

'Cause it will never be the same, hey, yeah

Your were busy kickin' it with your boys

Instead of taking care of your girl

But now I'm gone (I'm gone away from you, oh my boy, hey)

I gave you no reason why

But you said to do your thing on the side

But now I'm gone (Oh my boy)

'Cause it will never be the same, no

You were busy kicking it with your boys

(You shoulda been taking care of your girl)

Instead of taking care of your girl

But now I'm gone

(But now I'm gone, ooh, now I'm gone, now I'm gon' away from you, yeah)

[Bridge]

You see, the things you did to me back then

I'm long gone from it now

Baby, I gotta go my own way, uh

They say (They say)

That you never miss a good thing

Until it's gon' (Until it's gone away)

[Chorus]

Because I gave you no reason why

But you said do your thing on the side (Oh)

Your were busy kickin' it with your boys

(You must not wanna go on)

Instead of taking care of your girl (No)

But now I'm gone

I gave you no reason why (Don't come back my way, baby)

But you said do your thing on the side

(Oh, you're never gonna get it)

Your were busy kickin' it with your boys

(I might like it that way, baby)

Instead of taking care of your girl (But I'll be alright)

But now I'm gone

I gave you no reason why

But you said do your thing on the side (Yeah)

You were busy kickin' it with your boys

Instead of taking care of your girl

But now I'm gone

I gave you no reason why

But you said to do your thing on the side

But now I'm gone

Your were busy kickin' it with your boys

Instead of taking care of your girl

But now I'm gone

I gave you no reason why

But you said to do your thing on the side
