Lyrics Why Did You Go - Lonnie Johnson, Otis Spann

Why Did You Go

Since you been gone baby, nothing else seems the same
Yes, since you been gone baby, nothing else seems the same
Only just some more teardrops, heartaches, and pain
If you know you was gonna leave me, why didn’t you let me know?
If you know you was gonna leave me baby, why didn’t you let me know?
'cause if my love couldn’t please you, I would be willin' to let you go
You didn’t have to kiss me this morning, knowing that you were leaving home
You didn’t have to kiss me this morning, and know that you were leaving home
I could see it baby, but I haven’t did you nothing wrong
I give you my love, my money, and I give you all my time
Give you my love, my money, and I give you all my time
And how could you leave me, with me on your mind?
Yes, I love you so much baby, I couldn’t close my eyes
Yes, I love you so much baby, I couldn’t close my eyes
My poor heart was aching so, could feel myself slowly die
As good as I been to you, how could you do this to me?
As good as I been to you, how could you do this to me?
If you was tired baby, why didn’t you tell me, then you coulda had your «used to be.»
But go on baby, go on and have your fun
Go on baby, go on and have your fun
Because it’s later than you think, this time cryin' ain’t gonna help you none
I look at the pictures on the wall, they begin to fade away
Yes, the pictures on the wall, begin to fade away
And my love for you baby, is dyin' day by day
