Leavin’

Lyrics

[Intro] Uh Uh Uh [Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq] If your father says I can't have your hand And your mother feels that I'm not your man And your sister says she don't like my style And your brother feels that you're still a child Your friends always tell you that I'm a fool But you and I both know that it's not true So it's up to you to make up your mind 'Cause I really don't wanna waste my time [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq & Tony! Toni! Toné!] Oh, darlin', we're leavin' (Leavin') I know we got to get away from here (Leavin' here) We'll go away and build a mansion (Leavin') Don't no one know what we have for each other (Leavin' here) Let's pack our bags and let's leave, girl (Going bye-bye) [Post-Chorus] Uh (Ignorant flip, hey miss, you must jet) We're going bye-bye Uh (Ignorant flip, hey miss, you must jet) (Going bye-bye) [Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq] I know that you really want to be with me So don't let them dictate how love should be You know how it feels when we are alone So thrilling, you blow me like a saxophone Girl, I like all your friends, now, don't get me wrong So stop, look, and listen before I'm gone Our love is cock diesel and everyone knows So let's wave bye-bye 'cause we're going on home [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!] I know that we're leavin' (Leavin') Girl, I know we can do much better (Leavin' here) There's so many things we have in common (Leavin') I love the way we are together (Leavin' here) Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby (Going bye-bye) Let's go away, come on, let's go away (Leavin') We'll come back and visit them some other day (Leavin' here) I love, I love, I love you to death (Leavin') Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, please (Leavin' here) Girl, pack your bags and let's go away (Going bye-bye) [Bridge: Raphael Saadiq] Uh Going bye-bye Uh (Going bye-bye) Going bye-bye Uh Going bye-bye Uh (Going bye-bye) [Chorus: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!] Girl, I know, I know we gotta leave (Leavin') Oh, I know we could leave and have so much fun (Leavin' here) We'll go away and build a mansion (Leavin') Somewhere so far away no one could find us (Leavin' here) And if you really wanna leave, say yes [Post-Chorus] Uh (Ignorant flip, hey miss, you must jet) Just say yes Uh (Ignorant flip, hey miss, you must jet) Going bye-bye Uh (Ignorant flip, hey miss, you must jet) Going bye-bye [Outro: Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Toné!] We're leaving early in the morning, baby (Leavin') We're leavin', baby, tell all of your friends (Leavin' here) Tell 'em we got another place on the other side of town (Leavin') We're leavin', baby, yes, we're leavin' (Leavin' here) Tell your little sister, tell your big brother, baby (Going bye-bye) (Leavin') Tell everybody we're going to another place (Leavin' here) Tell 'em we're leaving early in the morning (Leavin') We're leavin', baby, yeah, yeah (Leavin' here) We're going, going, going, going, gone (Going bye-bye) (Leavin') We're going, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah (Leavin' here) Tell your nextdoor neighbor that we're leavin', leavin', leavin' (Leavin') Leavin', leavin', leavin' (Leavin' here) Oh, I know I'm so glad about it (Going bye-bye) I know you're so glad about it (Leavin') Oh, baby, baby, baby (Leavin' here) We're going, going, going, going Going, going, going, going (Leavin') Going, going, going, going Going, going, going, going (Leavin' here) Oh, bye-bye, bye-bye (Going bye-bye)
