Patti Labelle – Gotta Go Solo (Ft. Ron Isley) lyrics

RI:
Raindrops on my window sill (well well well)
As quiet as a mouse in here (oh.. uh...)
You're somewhere with the girls doing nails
Dinners takeout no home cooking all year (oh...)
Ain't no use pretending ah naw (ah naw)
Cause perfect I know I have not been (uh...)
But theres gotta be a way to work things out (out)
Twenty years should remove

Chorus
RI: If you love me
PL: I love you
RI: Then how could you go
PL: It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough, maybe we need to let it go (well well well hey)
RI: If you ever loved me
PL: I love you baby
RI: Then how could you leave
PL: Some songs have got to end, we're better off as friends, maybe it's time I go solo (oh)

PL:
I know this is confusing to you (very very very)
But it's been coming for a mighty (mighty mighty) long time (long time)
A woman needs to be loved ( I love you baby)
? by the soul, body and mind
You've been taking me for granted (have I really)
No surprises, no flowers, or rings (no..)
Now I can keep you just the way you are, but I know (wait) somethings (listen) will never change

Chorus
RI: If you love me
PL: I love you baby
RI: Then how could you go
PL: It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough, (oh) maybe we need to let it go (well well well)
RI: If you ever loved me
PL: I love you baby
RI: Then how could you leave
PL: Some songs have got to end, we're better off as friends, maybe it's time I go solo... solo... solo (don't go)

Bridge:
PL: I can't sing this melody no more
I've sung it for so long
RI: Is it the verses, the chorus, or the bridge
PL: I don't know
RI: Just tell me exactly what it is
PL: While were over troubled waters, I think this show is over

Chorus:
RI: If you love me
PL: Oh but i still love you
RI: Then how could you go (oh)
PL: It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough, maybe we need to let it go (let it go)
RI: If you ever loved me
PL: Oh Ron you know I love you
RI: Then how could you leave
PL: Some songs have gotta end, we're better off as friends, Ms. Patti's gotta go solo... solo

RI: Patti, (But ron) if really ever loved
PL: I love you baby, oh I love you oh
RI: How could you leave
PL: I'ma tell you way, you been Mr. Bigg, (no no) you been Mr. Bigg too long, now honey
here's Mrs. Bigg
RI: Talk to me
PL: That's what I been doing for twenty years

(guitar solo till end)
