If I don't pick up the like I use to (for you)
If I don't do all the things that I use to do (to you)
If you get to feeling stressed up in your chest thinking that you're about to lose (baby it's true)
And if you losing out on sleep home worrying about me, that's how it be
If you don't know, now you know you're gonna miss (my love)
And I ain't stressing bout a doggone thing
Cause I was true when I gave you (my love) my love, yeah
If you search you will never find another love like (my love)you're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around and play with my (my love) my love
If you think I caught a feeling when I heard about that other chick, (no)
I just needed time just to clear my mind and ask myself (why I didn't handle him)
If you would of taken care of home
Instead of leaving me alone (I)
I would be right there with you
takin care of you, steady lovin you like I use to do
(There was once a time when I blamed myself for what was wrong)
I can see so clearly now because you are gone
(That's how I spent all my time when you weren't home)
Playing around with those raggedy heifers, heifers, stressing
(No tryin, no more crying, I would rather be alone)
I would rather be all by myself
Cause this valuable heart of mine was yours until I realized, finally opened my eyes
He gon' miss me when I'm gone
