see you walkinon a sunny day out on Central Park avenue
And the look in your eye tells me, girl - you're out there lookin for somebody new
Ain't the first time you kept me waitin here
Ain't the first time I've been alone, oh no
The way that you been treatin me - so downright mean and lowly
I should be mighty glad you're gone

I know you know I tried to so hard to make you see
What's it take for you to see the man in me

Anyday - I'llwalk right out that door
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I'll say bye bye
Anyday - and leave you to your own

But each and every time you say "I'm sorry"
Girl you know I try my best to believe it's true
But what then would you expect now babe
From a poor lonely boy who's so strung out on you

Lord only knows I tried a thousand times before
Someday soon I'm gonna walk right out that door

Anyday - I'll pack my bags on you
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I'll say bye bye
Anyday - and leave you to your own

But each and every time you say "I'm sorry"
Girl you know I try my best to believe it's true
But what then would you expect now babe
From a poor lonely boy who's so strung out on you

Lord only knows I tried a thousand times before
Someday soon I'm gonna walk right out that door

Anyday - I'm gonna pack my bags
Anyday - and leave the past behind
Anyday - I 'll bye bye, bye bye babe
Anyday - now I've had about all I can take from you, woman

Throw me down, step on my face, slander my name all over the place
But take it easy child, I ain't lying
And I'm ready
Oh, I'm ready, ready
