George Duke
I Gotta Go
[Verse 1]
Hey baby
There's something I got to tell you
It ain't easy, but it's true
Ha, ha, oh, oh, sit on down, boy
Let me break the news
I am no longer in love with you
That is why I

[Chorus]
I gotta go
I can't hold on no more
Tried everything I know, now I got to go, baby
I gotta go, hey
I tried it out, cried it out
We talked it out, we fought it out
And I thought it out
Now there's nothing left to do but
Walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on out, hey

[Verse 2]
Honey, mmm
I'm just about to roll up (Roll up)
No, it ain't easy, but it's real
It's breaking my heart, boy
To break the news
What we got ain't been nowhere in a very long while
And in my heart I cry much more than I smile
I, I
[Chorus]
I gotta go
(Yes, I got to go; oh yes, I got to go, I got to go, baby)
Can't hold on no more
Tried everything I know, now I got to go, oh oh yeah (Ooh)
I gotta go, yeah
I tried it out, cried it out
We talked it out, we fought it out
And I thought it out
Now there's nothing left to do but
Walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on out, hey

[Bridge]
How can I tell you I don't love you
Not in the way that I used to?
(I used to, I used to, hey)
Don't take it personal, you're still beautiful (Beautiful)
But I have to choose myself
I have to choose my growth and my health
My first responsibility is to me, and that's why

[Chorus]
I gotta go, baby, I gotta go
Can't hold on no more
Tried everything I know, ah, oh, I gotta go, yeah
I gotta go (I gotta, I gotta, I gotta go)
I tried it out, cried it out
We talked it out, we fought it out
And I thought it out
Now there's nothing left to do but
Walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on, walk on
