[Intro: Rodney Jerkins]
Woo, Deborah Cox, y'all
Darkchild, woo
[Verse 1: Deborah Cox]
Oh, you think you found somebody that could treat you
(Like I did)
Spend the time doin' for you (Like I did)
And be there when you say, 'I need you' (Like I did)
Now this I can't believe
Now do you really think she'll hold it down for you
(Like I did)
Take all this foolishness from you (Like I did)
See, if she doesn't she will leave you (Like I did)
But don't come runnin' to me
[Pre-Chorus: Deborah Cox]
Could have been you and me
But everything I feel is (Gone)
You had a good thing in me, now it's (Gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (Gone)
Go away from me
It could have been you and me
But I feel like my heart is (Gone)
And feel like a part of me is missin', it's (Gone)
I didn't want to leave but I had to get (Gone)
'Cause he hurt me and I don't
[Chorus: Deborah Cox]
I don't need nobody
Who can't do right by me
I don't need you, baby
'Cause I'm worth much more, you'll see
So just go 'cause I know
You cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me
Just do your thing
[Verse 2: Deborah Cox]
Don't you realize you really had a good thing (Like you did)
Then you'll realize you dogged me (Like you did)
But she never thought of cheating (Like you did)
Maybe then you'll see
It wasn't cool breakin' promises to me (Like you did)
Had no reason to deny me (Like you did)
How you claim you still lie to me (Like you did)
And now it's easy to leave
[Pre-Chorus: Deborah Cox]
Could have been you and me
But everything I feel is (Gone)
You had a good thing in me, now it's (Gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (Gone)
Go away from me
It could have been you and me
But I feel like my heart is (Gone)
It's like a part of me is missin', it's (Gone)
I didn't want to leave but I had to get (Gone)
'Cause you hurt me and I don't need
[Chorus: Deborah Cox]
I don't need nobody (Hey)
Who can't do right by me
I don't need you, baby
'Cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know
You cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me
(And she will never be me)
Just do your thing
[Bridge: Deborah Cox]
I know what you need
Don't care what you say
Gotta get away
(I won't be second to no one)
I can't live (Oh)
With this choice I've made
Don't look back, no way
(I can make it on my own without you)
[Chorus: Deborah Cox]
I don't need nobody
(I don't need no one)
Who can't do right by me
I don't need you, baby
(I don't need you, baby)
'Cause I'm worth much more you'll see
('Cause I'm worth much more)
So just go 'cause I know
You cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me
Just do your thing
I don't need nobody
Who can't do right by me
I don't need you, baby
'Cause I'm worth much more you'll see
So just go 'cause I know
You cannot be faithful
Don't believe she's like me
Just do your thing
[Outro: Deborah Cox]
Could have been you and me
But everything I feel is (Gone)
You had a good thing in me, now it's (Gone)
The love I had for you is suddenly (Gone)
Go away from me
It could have been you and me
But I feel like my heart is (Gone)
A part of me is missin', it's (Gone)
I didn't want to leave but I had to get (Gone)
(Just do your thing)
Just leave
