[Verse 1]
Have you heard the news today?
I'm leavin' town and I'm cashin' out
This town's too small for me to stay
The time is now, I'm headin' out

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I still need ya
But if you stay, I'll leave ya
'Cause I gotta get away
And if I ever see ya
My heart is gonna bleed
But I'm leavin' either way

[Chorus]
My darling, baby, this is a warning
Said that I'm leavin' on Monday morning
You'll get no answer, no use in callin'
Because I'm leavin' on Monday morning

[Verse 2]
This flower needs somewhere to go
No room to grow on these dusty roads
I got two tickets and a dream
Eight fifteen, I'll save you a seat
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I still need ya
But if you stay, I'll leave ya
'Cause I gotta get away
And if I ever see ya
My heart is gonna bleed
But I'm leavin' either way

[Chorus]
My darling, baby, this is a warning
Said that I'm leavin' on Monday morning
You'll get no answer, no use in callin'
Because I'm leavin' on Monday morning (On Monday morning)

[Post-Chorus]
Monday morning, Monday morning
Monday morning (Not on Tuesday, baby), Monday morning

[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, I still need ya
But if you stay, I'll leave ya
'Cause I gotta get away
Ooh, and if I ever see ya
My heart is gonna bleed
But I'm leavin' either way
[Chorus]
My darling, baby (Baby), this is a warning (This is my warning)
Said that I'm leavin' (I'm leavin') on Monday morning (On Monday, Monday)
You'll get no answer (Ooh), no use in callin' (No use in callin')
Because I'm leavin' (I'm leavin') on Monday morning (On Monday morning, yeah)

[Post-Chours]
Monday morning, Monday morning (This is your warning)
Monday morning, Monday morning (On Monday morning)
Monday morning (Answer), Monday morning (Use in callin')
Monday morning, on Monday morning

[Outro]
Monday morning, Monday morning
Monday morning, oh
