Why Did You Go - Lonnie Johnson, Otis Spann

Since you been gone baby, nothing else seems the same

Yes, since you been gone baby, nothing else seems the same

Only just some more teardrops, heartaches, and pain

If you know you was gonna leave me, why didn’t you let me know?

If you know you was gonna leave me baby, why didn’t you let me know?

'cause if my love couldn’t please you, I would be willin' to let you go

You didn’t have to kiss me this morning, knowing that you were leaving home

You didn’t have to kiss me this morning, and know that you were leaving home

I could see it baby, but I haven’t did you nothing wrong

I give you my love, my money, and I give you all my time

Give you my love, my money, and I give you all my time

And how could you leave me, with me on your mind?

Yes, I love you so much baby, I couldn’t close my eyes

Yes, I love you so much baby, I couldn’t close my eyes

My poor heart was aching so, could feel myself slowly die

As good as I been to you, how could you do this to me?

As good as I been to you, how could you do this to me?

If you was tired baby, why didn’t you tell me, then you coulda had your «used to be.»

But go on baby, go on and have your fun

Go on baby, go on and have your fun

Because it’s later than you think, this time cryin' ain’t gonna help you none

I look at the pictures on the wall, they begin to fade away

Yes, the pictures on the wall, begin to fade away

And my love for you baby, is dyin' day by day
