Lyrics Gotta Go Solo - Patti LaBelle, Ronald Isley

Gotta Go Solo

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 theres gotta be a way to work things out (oh)
20 years, should remove all doubt
(chrous)
Ronald Isley: If you love me,(i love you) then how could you go
Patti Labelle: It’s not about the love, its 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 its
time I go solo
Patti Labelle:
I know this is confusing to you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
But its been coming for a mighty long time (a mighty long time)
A woman needs to be loved
Into 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
2nd Chorus
Ronald: if you love me (i love you baby) then how could you go

(Bridge)
Patti Labelle: I can’t sing this melody no more, I’ve sung it for so long
Ronald Isley: Is it the verse, the chorus, or the bridge.(i don’t know) just
tell me exactly what it is
Patti Labell: I dont know While we’re over troubled waters, I think the show is
over
