The Shelf

'Cause if you won’t provide an ear
I might as well not speak
'Cause either way, if not today
I’m gone within the week

No matter what I say to you
Your mind does not compute
So if you please, I think I’ll leave
Since I’m not getting through

I’m gonna have to go and leave you baby
I’m gonna have to say goodbye
Gonna pack my things and go ‘head baby and
I’m gon’ be gone by tonight

So as the time keeps rolling on
These days, they feel like years
So on the shelf, is me, myself
My heart and all my tears

I know that you have lied before
It comes as no surprise
But I don’t wanna cry no more
If you’re the reason why

I’m gonna have to go and leave you baby
I’m gonna have to say goodbye
Gonna pack my things and go ‘head baby and
I’m gon’ be gone by tonight

And I don’t like the way you treat me baby
I’m gonna have to say goodbye
Gonna pack my things and go ‘head baby and
I’m gon’ be gone by tonight

I’m gonna have to go and leave you baby
I’m gonna have to say goodbye
Gonna pack my things and go ‘head baby and
I’m gon’ be gone by tonight
