| I met a guy like you a long time before
|
| A real ladies' man, heartbreak for sure
|
| Took advantage of a naïve man
|
| But I learned a lesson and I told him, well
|
| Once you leave, you can’t come back
|
| Gonna take your love and throw away the key
|
| Once you leave, you can’t come back
|
| Gonna take your love and throw away the key
|
| A guy will take your love and use it all
|
| Still they won’t commit it’s love downfall
|
| They run around in and out your life
|
| They want a lover, they don’t need a wife
|
| Sooner or later, you gotta make a stand
|
| It’s hard, but it’s your happiness
|
| Love me or leave me, it’s your choice
|
| But when you go, this you should know
|
| Oh, once you leave, you can’t come back
|
| Gonna take your love and throw away the key
|
| Once you leave, you can’t come back
|
| Gonna take your love and throw away the key, yeah
|
| So, you gonna go?
|
| Well, bye-bye
|
| Just remember, I won’t be waitin' around
|
| Once you leave, you can’t come back
|
| Gonna take your love and throw away the key
|
| Once you leave, you can’t come back
|
| Gonna take your love and throw away the key
|
| Once you leave, you can’t come back
|
| Gonna take your love and throw away the key
|
| Oh, once you leave, you can’t come back
|
| Gonna take your love and throw away the key
|
| Yeah, yeah
|
| Bye-bye
|
| You got your hat, now get your coat |
