Chaperone lyrics

Come on honey, tell me all your problems You’re cold and tired and worked to the bone I’ve given you my empathy and time I’ve listened far too long Yesterday you called and left me trembling Which seems to happen most of the time Now all my inclinations tell me run I’ve listened far too long I’m gonna leave you there I can be on my own You’ll never understand Babe, I’m not your chaperone I’m gonna leave you now I’m better on my own You’ll never understand What you had until I’m gone Darling, I heard you the first time You’re screaming your opinion again One-sided conversation’s gotten dull I’ve listened far too long Now focus on me for just a moment The woman you’ve rejected and wronged Now all my inclinations tell me run I’ve listened far too long I’m gonna leave you there I can be on my own You’ll never understand Babe, I’m not you’re chaperone I’m gonna leave you now I’m better on my own You’ll never understand What you had until I’m gone ’Til I’m gone ’Til I’m gone You’re gonna want me when I’m gone You’re not the kind of man I think I need to wait on I know the time will come when you discover you’re wrong, baby I’m gonna leave you there I can be on my own You’ll never understand Babe, I’m not you’re chaperone I’m gonna leave you now I’m better on my own You’ll never understand What you had until I’m gone ’Til I’m gone ’Til I’m gone You’re gonna want me when I’m gone
