Lyrics for I'm Going Away

I'm goin' away, baby And I'm goin' to stay You spent all of my money You got no time for me Yes, I'm goin' away, honey And I'm goin' to stay Baby, you going to miss me That's when I go away You called me your honey You spent all of my money Then you think that's funny? That's why I'm going away You know you weren't true, baby I believed in you I am brokenhearted Just oh, the way you do You said you loved me, honey No other one but me You never gave me no lovin' That's why I'm goin' away You called me your honey Spent all of my money Then you think that's funny? That's why I'm going away Never be no sunshine, it's gonna always be rain Honey, you goin' to want me to come back again Never be no sunshine, it's gonna always be rain You never gave me no lovin' That's why I'm going away You called me your honey Spent all of my money Then you think that's funny? That's why I'm going away
