Lyrics

Somebody to Leave
(© Words and Music by Karen Nash)

He’s always honest
But I love the way you lie
He keeps me so warm
But you burn me deep inside
He sings so sweetly
But you’ve got that dirty talk
And he likes to carry me
But you love to watch me walk
Oh I’m tangled up with a beggar and a thief
There’s no way outta here
I’ve got to find somebody to leave

Ah he sends me roses
Yeah he takes me out at night
He’s got lots of money
And he always looks alright
You never buy me nothing’
No you never take me anywhere
You’re always broke
But I love the way you grow your hair
I can’t live with or without either one of you
I’m caught up in between
I’ve got to make up my mind
I’ve got to find somebody to leave

Oh you dropped out of night school
And he’s got a Ph.D.
You sing the blues
He’s got Mozart on CD
And he wants to marry me
Yeah but you’ve got a wandering eye
And my Momma loves him
My Daddy wants to, to take you outside
It’s so complicated
Oh, it’s makin’ me grieve
I’ve got to do what’s right
I’ve got to find somebody to leave

Ah, who’s it gonna be?
