Nina Simone
I’m Gonna Leave You
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna leave you, yes, I'm gonna
I'm gonna leave you 'cause I wanna
And I'll go where people love me
And I'll stay there 'cause they love me
No more headaches, no more heartbreaks
I'm gonna leave you where I met you
I'm gonna leave you with your money
I want somebody to call me honey
I don't want gold rings, I wanna hear sweet things
I need affection and not protection
When you're teasing, you should be squeezing
I'm gonna leave you where I met you
Yes, I've put up with your cussin'
And I've put up with your fussin'
And I waited, getting frustrated
I'm old fashioned, I want my passion
So I'm leaving, though I'm grieving
I'm gonna leave you where I met you
[Bridge]
I'm gonna leave you
When you're teasing you should be squeezing
I'm gonna leave you
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna leave you, well, I'm gonna
Yes, I'm gonna leave you 'cause I wanna
And I'll go where people love me
And I'll stay there 'cause they love me
No more headaches, no more heartbreaks
I'm gonna leave you where I met you
I'm gonna leave you with your money
I want somebody to call me honey
I don't want gold rings, I wanna hear sweet things
I need affection, not protection
When you're teasing you should be squeezing
I'm gonna leave you where I met you
Yes, I've put up with your cussin'
And I've put up with your fussin'
And I waited, getting frustrated
I'm old fashioned, I need my passion
So I'm leaving, though I'm grieving
I'm gonna leave you where I met you
