Dolly Parton
Get Out and Stay Out
Well, It's funny how you waltzed in here, assuming I'd come back
Well let me tell you something, you are way off track
Can't you see I'm different, or are you still that blind
No - you stand right there and take it, there's no love to hide behind
Well, I am proud to tell you I'm really feeling good
I'm doing so much better than you ever thought I would
Got my own place, my own space, where I can dream and plan
It took me this long to realize I do not need a man
I used to need you, then I finally learned
I used to want you, now the tables turned
I used to love you, now it's your time to squirm
Cause I'm saying goodbye and I won't wait for your return
So get out and stay out, I've finally had enough
Don't kiss me on your way out, it wouldn't move me much
You used me, abused me, you cheated and you lied
So get out and stay out, I'm taking back my life
I wonder what you'll do when I am not around
Now that your new love has up and let you down
You've always come crying to me throughout the years
To mend another broken heart, to dry your selfish tears
So get out and stay out, I'm moving on at last
Oh, I've been so foolish, but that was in the past
I never thought I'd be the one to say goodbye
You get out and stay out, I'm taking back my life
Dreams and plans are in the making
Success is out there for the taking
Wish it was as simple as it sounds
I have no choice I have to do it
Face the future, walk into it
Now that I'm unfettered and unbound
Get out and stay out, I've finally had enough
Don't kiss me on your way out, it wouldn't move me much
You used me, abused me, you cheated and you lied
So get out and stay out, I'm taking back my life
My life
