Stay Gone Lyrics - Singles - Brand New Heavies

No, you cannot stay for the night 

I'm not your anytime you want me delight 

I've been healing both my body and mind 

Found the courage that can free me this time 

We're playin' by a new set of rules 

Baby these were not designed for some fool 

See, I've taken all that I'm gonna take 

It's the rest of my life that's at stake 

So, don't you come around drinkin' high and thinkin' 

I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, you're so wrong 

I'm through with letting you walk in, do the talkin' 

Puttin' your hands where they don't belong, they don't belong 

You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me 

This time baby - stay gone, you can stay gone 

I'm no longer falling apart 

See, I finally got you out of my heart 

And if I ever think of taking you back 

You'll remind me how I feel about that 

So don't you come around drinkin', high and thinkin' 

I'm gonna lay down, 'cause you're wrong, oh yeah damn wrong 

I'm through with letting you walk in do the talkin' 

Puttin' your hands where you know they don't belong, no, no they don't belong 

You can't just show up, use me, lie and abuse me 

This time baby, you, you, you - you can stay gone 

(You can stay gone...) 

I don't need the smooth talk on a good night 

Doin' just fine, doin' alright - stay gone 

(I don't need you, no) 

I don't need the false hope, or the bad dope 

Or the rough love, had enough of it - stay gone 

You can't be a no show, whem I'm real low 

It's a no blow, it's a no go - stay gone, stay gone...gone 

So don't you come around drinkin', sad and steamin' 

Baby let me tell you 

I won't work this time 

It ain't gonna work no 

Ain't gonna work no 

I'm tired of letting you hurt me, scream and curse me 

Baby, that pain is more than you're worth 

Today is gonna be my day, find you a highway 

Hear me baby, stay gone - you can stay gone 

You can stay, out there, somewhere 

I don't care, I don't care - stay gone 

(You don't believe it) 

You can take a slow boat or a long road 

To a fast plane, to a slow train 

Stay gone, stay gone - you can stay gone
