Now I'm Gone
Monica baby, I'm sorry
(Now I'm gone, now I'm gone) I know I was wrong
I think we can work it out, can we?
Just try to hear me out
Nah, you hear me out
I gave you so much love, but you had to play with my affections
My heart was in your hands, but you had to play with all my feelings
You got your Mack on, but now I'm gone
'Cause I'd rather be all alone
Away from all these silly games
(Because) I gave you no reason why
But you said, "Do your thing on the side"
But now I'm gone
'Cause it will never be the same
You were busy kicking it with your boys
Instead of taking care of your girl
But now I'm gone
(Gone away from you)
I thought I knew you well
But you ran away, didn't care about me
You told so many lies
Thought you could run away from this thing called reality
But I'm long gone, I got to go on
There's someone waiting for me
To love me honestly (get your girl), yeah
(But you know) I gave you no reason why
But you said, "Do your thing on the side"
But now I'm gone
'Cause it will never be the same, ay, yeah
You were busy kicking it with your boys
Instead of taking care of your girl
But now I'm gone
I'm gone away from you, oh my boy (hey, hey)
I gave you no reason why
But you said, "Do your thing on the side"
But now I'm gone (oh my boy)
'Cause it will never be the same, hey, nah
You were busy kicking it with your boys
(You shoulda been) instead of taking care of your girl
But now I'm gone
(But now I'm gone)
(Ooh, now I'm gone)
(Now I'm gon' away from you, yeah)
You see, the things you did to me back then
I'm long gon' from it now
Baby, I gotta go my own way
They say (they say)
That you never miss a good thing
Until it's gon' (until it's gone away)
Because I gave you no reason why
(Ay-ay, yeah) but you said, "Do your thing on the side" (oh)
You were busy kickin' it with your boys (you must not wanna go on)
Instead of taking care of your girl (but now I'm gone, yeah)
I gave you no reason why (don't come back my way, baby)
But you said, "Do your thing on the side" (oh, you're never gonna get it)
You were busy kickin' it with your boys (I might like it that way, baby)
Instead of taking care of your girl (but I'll be alright, ooh, yeah)
But now I'm gone (ooh, yeah), I gave you no reason why
But you said do your thing on the side (ooh, oh, ooh, yeah)
But now I'm busy kickin' it with your boys (yeah, ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh)
Instead of taking care of your girl
But now I'm gone (I gave you no reason why)
But you said, "Do your thing on the side"
But now I'm busy kickin' it with your boys
Instead of taking care of your girl
But now I'm gone
I gave you no reason why
But you said, "Do your thing on the side"
