Lyrics Once You Leave - Jody Watley

Once You Leave

I met a guy like you a long time before
A real ladies' man, heartbreak for sure
Took advantage of a naïve man
But I learned a lesson and I told him, well
Once you leave, you can’t come back
Gonna take your love and throw away the key
Once you leave, you can’t come back
Gonna take your love and throw away the key
A guy will take your love and use it all
Still they won’t commit it’s love downfall
They run around in and out your life
They want a lover, they don’t need a wife
Sooner or later, you gotta make a stand
It’s hard, but it’s your happiness
Love me or leave me, it’s your choice
But when you go, this you should know
Oh, once you leave, you can’t come back
Gonna take your love and throw away the key
Once you leave, you can’t come back
Gonna take your love and throw away the key, yeah
So, you gonna go?
Well, bye-bye
Just remember, I won’t be waitin' around
Once you leave, you can’t come back
Gonna take your love and throw away the key
Once you leave, you can’t come back
Gonna take your love and throw away the key
Once you leave, you can’t come back
Gonna take your love and throw away the key
Oh, once you leave, you can’t come back
Gonna take your love and throw away the key
Yeah, yeah
Bye-bye
You got your hat, now get your coat
