[Verse 1]
Oh darling, after all this time
It seems to me, girl
You be changin' your mind
We don't talk no more
Like we used to do
What in the world has come over you?
You say
[Chorus]
(Leavin' me) Oh, darling
(Can't be) Can't be, no
(What you're tellin' me) What you're tellin' me, girl
(Baby) Oh, baby
(Leavin' me) Sometimes I'm on
(Can't be) Oh
(What you're tellin' me) What you're tellin' me, baby
(Baby)
[Verse 2]
Seems to me lately
You are bored in my conversation
You turn on the TV
Leavin' me in aggrivation
I just don't know
What come ovеr you
But my sweet darling
Just don't say that we're through
[Chorus]
(Leavin' mе) Oh
(Can't be) Just can't be, baby
(What you're tellin' me) What you're tellin' me, girl
(Baby) Oh baby, now say
(Leavin' me) Just can't do it, baby
(Can't be) No, darling
(What you're tellin' me) What you're tellin' me, baby
(Baby) Hey, baby
[Verse 3]
Girl, if you only knew
What was goin' through my mind
You would stop foolin' around, yes you would
Give me all of your time
The best years I had
I spent 'em all with you
If you leave me now, baby
I'll be through
[Chorus]
(Leavin' me) Oh
(Can't be) I'm sick, baby
(What you're tellin' me) What you're tellin' me, girl
(Baby)
Sometimes I'm on (Leavin' me)
Oh yeah (Can't be)
I'm on about it, baby
(What you're tellin' me) What you're tellin' me, girl
(Baby) Hey, baby
[Verse 4]
(Woo) You see that old Gerald Levert?
(Woo-ooh) He ain't nothin' but a flirt
(Woo) And he tried to take my baby from me (Woo-ooh)
(Woo) Ol' Johnny Taylor
I'm talkin' 'bout the blues wailer (Woo-ooh)
Tryin' to be a player, a-puh-puh (Woo)
They don't wanna see my baby (Woo-ooh)
Oh, my baby with me
[Outro]
(Leavin' me) No, baby
(Can't be) It just can't be, baby
(What you're tellin' me) What you're tellin' me, girl
(Baby) Oh, no-no, baby
(Leavin' me) Don't leave me, baby, don't leave me
(Can't be) Oh, baby
(What you're tellin' me)
