Go Girl - Lila McCann

(Mark Spiro/Don Schlitz)

You say it's been coming on
That he's been out running 'round
You say that when he does come home
He only puts you down
Well you ask me my opinion
Of what I think you should do
As far as I can see there's just
One road left for you
Oh don't give up cause it's hard to hear
You'll never know your strength until you face your fear

You go girl, cause you know girl
Where he is ain't where you belong
If you stay girl, you will pay girl
He's only gonna do you wrong
You can try girl, but you'll cry girl
Cause he ain't worth the holding on
So you go girl
Cause you're already gone

You tell me that you're so afraid
To be out there on your own
To throw away the life you've made
And face the world all alone
I've been in your shoes and I've cried those tears
The best that you can do is walk away from here

So you go girl, cause you know girl
Where he is ain't where you belong
If you stay girl, you will pay girl
He's only gonna do you wrong
You can try girl, but you'll cry girl
Cause he ain't worth the holding on
So you go girl
Cause you're already gone

If he only makes you cry
What kind of life is that
If he don't know the meaning of
To honor and respect

Oh you can try girl, but you'll cry girl
Cause he ain't worth the holding on
So you go girl
Cause you're already gone
If you stay you will pay girl, oh yes you will, yes you will
Yeah, back where you belong
You just go girl, yeah
