Gotta go gotta go gotta go (ooh) 
Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time (ooh ooh) 
Boy I'm thinking about leaving you 
Gotta go gotta go 
Hey 
Gotta go gotta go 

Gotta getaway 
Gotta do it now 
I gotta step into the sun ha ha 
You see I'm leaving baby on the midnight train to Georgia 
Nobody to blame I feel the same 
To many days filled with rain 
I can't take the pain 
I must maintain 
After all these years 
Isn't it strange 
That to remain sane 
I've gotta make a change 

If you're thinking about moving away 
And you [bad word] out to play 
Don't you know it's gonna hurt so much inside
And all these feelings you can't deny 
And don't you know that if you walk outside that door
Leaving me here howling for more 
I guess I'll have to follow you (follow you)
And I'll watch everything that you do baby 

Gotta go gotta go 
Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 
Boy I'm thinking about leaving you 
Gotta go gotta go 
Hey
Gotta go gotta go (ooh ooh) 
Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 
Boy I'm thinking about leaving you 
Gotta go gotta go 
Hey 
Gotta go gotta go 
Oh yeah 

So I see you've gotta ticket all the way 
Regardless of what I say 
Don't you know I can't hear none of that (mmm)
Yeah maybe I'm a little cracked (ooh) 
Any if by chance we find love 
As real as the sky above (yeah) 
Gonna go all around the world 
Cos I'm a part of everything you do baby 
Baby I've got to go 

Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 
Boy I'm thinking about leaving you 
Gotta go gotta go (ooh ooh) 
Hey
Gotta go gotta go (ooh ooh) 
Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 
Boy I'm thinking about leaving you 
Gotta go gotta go 
Hey 
Gotta go gotta go 

Baby I'm missing you 
Yeah my heart broke right in two (mmm) 
The pain hurts slowly 
You're my one and only (yeah) 
Baby I wanna be kissing you 
Smacking those lips until they fall in two (mmm)
I'm so lonely
Girl I wanna be kissing you 

Gotta go gotta go 
Bout time (ooh ooh) bout time 
Boy I'm thinking about leaving you 
Gotta go gotta go (I love you) 
Hey
Gotta go gotta go(ooh)
Bout time but I love you bout time baby I love you
Gotta go gotta go
Hey
Gotta go gotta go (ooh) 

You're not an (?OP) like Bootsie 
But I still believe 
Till you show all the tricks up your sleeve 
Indeed I proceed with caution got you Thinking about the love that you lost 
But [bad word] 
I gotta leave you know 
You can't go 
I need time to grow 
I'm ready and heading to the next plateau 
If you see me uptown Riverside Drive 
Do me this baby dog 
Just walk on by this is life 
(bout time (ooh ooh) bout time) 
I've gotta leave 
I've gotta go
