Come here, no
Don't start that over again
You wanna leave
You go ahead and leave

It ain't gonna bother me no more
Cause I'm going out
And I'm gonna get down

I'm tired of sitting here
And waiting for you to come home
And you out someplace
With somebody else
I'm gonna go out
And find me somebody

Yeah, gonna go dancing
Gonna go dancing, hey
I can still do it, you know
You ain't gotta be here
For me to be doing this

Yeah, go ahead
And run if you want to
Go ahead, like I said
You ain't go to stay
