Now I was a stranger in love and in town
You set me up then you put me down
You have your way with me every time
But leavin' will take that load off my mind
You wanted love and you wanted more
People and place you had never before
ou run around like you thought I was blind
But leavin' will take that load off my mind
Now you had me fooled from the day that we met
Sweet lies you told me I'll never forget
But you can't keep lying and love
Cause leavin' will take that load off my mind
* Refrain
Now don't you be waiting for my knock on your door
That kind of lovin' I don't need no more
You had your day till it came time
For leavin' to take that load off my mind
* Refrain
