[Verse 1]
It was a good time, darling
We didn't need nobody else
Before the long run, darling
You're gonna find somebody else

[Pre-Chorus]
And momma said
Son, you know, take it slow
You're gonna hurt somebody, you're gonna hurt somebody
And poppa said
Son, you know, feel the flow
You gotta leave somebody, you gotta leave somebody

[Chorus]
And I said
Hey, girl, you know I'm not
Good at taking petty talk
I'm leaving in the morning
I hope you know
You were a good one baby
Hey, girl, you know I'm not
Good at taking sweet talk
I'm leaving in the morning
I hope you know
You were the best I ever had

[Verse 2]
It was a good time darling
And it was a shame it ended fast
Before the long run, darling
Good things can never last

[Pre-Chorus]
And momma said
Son, you know, take it slow
You're gonna hurt somebody, you're gonna hurt somebody
And poppa said
Son, you know, feel the flow
You gotta leave somebody, you gotta leave somebody

[Chorus x2]
And I said
Hey, girl, you know I'm not
Good at taking petty talk
I'm leaving in the morning
I hope you know
You were a good one baby
Hey, girl, you know I'm not
Good at taking sweet talk
I'm leaving in the morning
I hope you know
You were the best I ever had

And I said
Hey, girl, you know I'm not
Good at taking petty talk
I'm leaving in the morning
I hope you know
You were a good one baby
Hey, girl, you know I'm not
Good at taking sweet talk
I'm leaving in the morning
I hope you know
You were the best I ever had

[Bridge]
Oh, hey, girl, I know it's bad
I've been like this since three years past
My baby love me
My baby love me
Oh, hey, girl, I know it's brough
Pushing your chance in the game of love
Your baby left you
Your baby left you

[Verse 3]
But he was a good time, darling
We didn't need nobody else
Before the long run, darling
You're gonna find somebody else

[Chorus]
And I said
Hey, girl, you know I'm not
Good at taking petty talk
I'm leaving in the morning
I hope you know
You were a good one baby
Hey, girl, you know I'm not
Good at taking sweet talk
I'm leaving in the morning
I hope you know
You were the best I ever had
