Someone Else Will Take Your Place

[Verse]
I've cried both night and day
You've always had your way
But now you're leavin'
You're goin' away today
What grieves my weary mind
I've been so good and kind
If you had to leave me
Why did you wait 'til today?

[Chorus]
When you're leavin' me, pretty baby
Someone else will take your place
For many years I've longed and waited
To say these words with so much grace
Got ways like a millionaire
Lord, they do declare
With my dainty figure and my baby stare
So if you're leavin' me, pretty baby
Someone else will take your place

[Chorus]
I said, you're leavin' me, pretty baby
Someone else will take your place
For many years I've longed and waited
To say these words with so much grace
Now if you didn't want me, tell me to my face
'Cause there's five or six waitin', Lord, to take your place
If you're dissatisfied and feel like leavin'
Someone else will take your place

[Instrumental Break]
Hit that thing, big boy!

[Chorus]
When you're leavin' me, pretty baby
Someone else will take your place
For many years I've longed and waited
To say these words with so much grace
Don't ever think you are in so strong
The chances are you might be wrong
So if you're dissatisfied and feel like leavin'
Someone else will take your place
