Gotta Go Solo

[Ronald Isley:]
Raindrops on my window seal (well, well, well)
It's quiet as a mouse in here (oh, oh, ooh)
You're somewhere with the girls doing nails
Dinner's takeout, no homecooking all year
Ain't no use pretending (no, no)
'Cause perfect I know I have not been
But there's gotta be a way to work things out (oh)
Twenty years, should remove all doubt

[Chorus 1:]
[Ronald Isley:] If you love me, (I love you) then how could you go
[Patti LaBelle:] It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough maybe we need to let it go
[Ronald Isley:] If you ever loved me, (I love you baby) then how could you leave
[Patti LaBelle:] some songs have gotta end, we're better off as friends maybe it's time I go solo

[Patti LaBelle:]
I know this is confusing to you (very, very, very)
But it's been coming for a mighty long time (a mighty long time)
A woman needs to be loved
Head to toe
Body, soul, and mind
You've been taking me for granted (have I really?)
No surprises, no flowers on rainy days
Now I can keep u just the way you are
But I know some things will never change

[Chorus 2:]
[Ronald Isley:] if you love me(I love you baby)then how could you go
[Patti LaBelle:] it's not about the love it's just I've had enough maybe we need to let it go
[Ronald Isley:] hey, if you ever loved me(I love you baby) then how could you leave
[Patti LaBelle:] some songs have gotta end we're better off as friends maybe it's time I go solo solo solo

[Bridge:]
[Patti LaBelle:] I can't sing this melody no more, I've sung it for so long
[Ronald Isley:] Is it the chorus, the verse, or the bridge.(I don't know)just tell me exactly what it is
[Patti LaBelle:] Ron we're over troubled waters I can just show it's over

[Chorus 3:]
[Ronald Isley:] if you love me (oh, Ron I still love you baby) then how could you go
[Patti LaBelle:] Hew, it's not about the love it's just I've had enough maybe we need to let it go, let it go
[Ronald Isley:] if you ever loved me(Oh, Ron you know I love ya) then how could you leave
[Patti LaBelle:] some songs have gotta end we're better off as friends Mrs. Patti's gotta go solo... solo

[Patti LaBelle:] Breakdown
[Ronald Isley:] If you ever loved me
[Patti LaBelle:] I love you baby, Ron I love you
[Ronald Isley:] Oh, oh, ooh, how could you leave
[Patti LaBelle:] That a right, I'm gonna tell you why
You been Mr. Bigg
You been Mr. Bigg too long
Now honey here's Mrs. Bigg
[Ronald Isley:] talk to me
[Patti LaBelle:] That's what I've been doing all for twenty long years
[Ronald Isley:] Yeah
