gotta go solo - patti labelle lyrics

Raindrops on my window sill
It's quiet as a mouse in here
You're somewhere with the girls doing nails
Dinner's takeout, no home cooking all year

Ain't no use pretending, no, no
'Cause perfect I know I have not been
But there's gotta be a way to work things out
Twenty years, should remove all doubt

If you love me, I love you
Then how could you go
It's not about the love
It's just I've had enough
Maybe we need to let it go

If you ever loved me, I love you, baby
Then how could you leave
Some songs have gotta end
We're better off as friends
Maybe it's time I go solo

I know this is confusing to you
But it's been coming for a mighty long time
A woman needs to be loved
Head to toe, body, soul and mind

You've been taking me for granted
No surprises, no flowers on rainy days
Now, I can keep you just the way you are
But I know some things will never change

If you love me, I love you, baby
Then how could you go
It's not about the love
It's just I've had enough
Maybe we need to let it go

If you ever loved me, I love you, baby
Then how could you leave
Some songs have gotta end
We're better off as friends
Maybe it's time I go solo, solo, solo

I can't sing this melody no more
I've sung it for so long
Is it the verse, is the chorus
Or the bridge, I don't know
Just tell me exactly what it is
While we're over troubled waters
I think the show is over

If you love me, but I still love you, baby
Then how could you go
It's not about the love
It's just I've had enough
Maybe we need to let it go

If you ever loved me, you know I love you
Then how could you leave
Some songs have gotta end
We're better off as friends
Mrs. Patty's gotta go solo, solo

If you really love me, I love you, baby
I love you, how could you
I'm gonna tell you what
