[1] Now I was a stranger in love and in [4] town
[5] You set me up and you put me [1] down
You had your way with me every [4] time
But [5] leavin' would take that load off my [1] mind

You wanted love and you wanted more
People and places like never before
You ran around like you thought I was blind
But leavin' would take that load off my mind

Now you had me fooled from the day that we met
Sweet lies you told me I'll never forget
But you can't keep lyin' and lovin' you'll find
'Cause leavin' will take that load off my mind

Now don't you be waiting for my knock on your door
That kind of lovin' I don't need no more
You had your day until it came time
For leavin' will take that load off my mind
