I'm Leavin' You

(album: Moanin' In The Moonlight - 1959)

Well maybe in the morning, I don't know
Baby don't know, just how soon
But I'm leaving you
Woman I've got to put you down
Well if you can't treat me right
Ain't no use for me hanging around

Well you told me that you love me
You cross your heart to die
But I found out that wasn't so
I'm leaving you
Woman I got to put you down
Girl if you can't treat me right
Ain't no use for me hanging around

Well early in the morning before I rise
You lay that role in your bloodshot eyes
You's a mean little thing, meanest woman I ever seen
No matter how I try to treat you right
Still you's a mean little thing

Well you told me that you love me
You cross your heart to die
But I found out, baby, bye bye
I'm leaving
Woman I got to put you down
Well if you can't treat me right
Ain't no use for me hanging around

Well early in the morning before I rise
You lay that role in your bloodshot eyes
You's a mean little thing
Mean little thing as you can be
Well if you can't treat me right
Still you's a mean little thing

I'm leaving...
