If You Need Me

[Intro] If you need me, I'll be gone [Verse 1] The bed's still warm where you just left But it'll be colder where I've slept I've always been where you needed me But I ain't the fool I used to be [Verse 2] You come home all hours of the night The fragrance on you ain't old spice Tonight when you come dragging home And find you need me, I'll be gone [Chorus] I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up Gone like the dew from the buttercup Gone like a woman treated wrong If you need me, I'll be gone [Verse 3] So, what am I still doing here You've been doing me wrong for years Tired of picking up and putting out I'm leaving you lock, stock, and house [Verse 4] So, bye, bye, baby That's it, I'm packed I'm a'leaving now, but I'll call back And leave this message on the code-a-phone Saying, if you need me, well, I'll be gone [Chorus 2x] If you need me, I'll be gone [Outro] If you need me, I'll be gone I said, if you need me, I'll be gone
