Gonna Leave You Lyrics - Big Mama Thornton: The Complete Vanguard Recordings - Big Mama Thornton

One day I'm gonna leave you, I know you think I won't. 

Well, gonna find someone to love me. 

Because you think I won't. You always too tired. 

Always, too tired to give me a little kiss. 

I know, you are trying to hide. 

Trying to hide. Take my name off of your list. 

I said I'm gonna find someone to love. 

Because you think I won't. 

Play me a little blues. Satisfy me. 

Play, play me a little blues and try and satisfy me. 

Babe, you trying to hide. 

Said take my name off of your list. 

Let me hear from you little brother! 

(Guitar Solo) 

You trying to be so slick, 

Whenever you come home. 

Covering up by saying "you are sick", 

Whenever you have been wrong. 

Oh I know, I have to leave you. 

And you know, you think I won't. 

I said I'm gonna find, me someone to love me. 

Because, because, you say I don't love no one but you. 

But I, I know you a liar. 

Someone out there, someone out there, is trying. 

You tried to be slick, whenever you do come home. 

Covering up, by saying "you are sick" 

When you know you been wrong. 

I just gotta leave you. I know you think I won't. 

I gotta find, I gotta find, someone to love me. 

Because, I know you say, say I won't. Lord have mercy. 

I just gotta find someone. I know they're out there. 

Looking for a true love. I know a true love, true love, 

A true love, a true love is hard, true love, true love, 

Is hard, true love, true love, Is-a hard; to find. 

And you'll never find another like-a me, 

I'm gonna leave you.
