Lyrics for Old John Robertson - Single Version

The reason why oh, I can't say I have to let you go, baby and right away After what you did I can't stay now And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone Baby for a long time (baby for a long time) you had me believe (you had me believe) That your love was all mine (that your love was all mine) and that's the way it would be But I didn't know (but I didn't know) that you were putting me on And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone, when you're gone Now I gotta say (I gotta say) that it's not like before (that it's not like before) And I'm not gonna play your games any more (and I'm not gonna play) After what you did (after what you did)I can't stay on And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone Oh, when you're gone, oh when you gone,oh when you gone
