[Intro]
If you need me, I'll be gone

[Verse 1]
The bed's still warm where you just left
But it'll be colder where I've slept
I've always been where you needed me
But I ain't the fool I used to be

[Verse 2]
You come home all hours of the night
The fragrance on you ain't Old Spice
Tonight when you come dragging home
And find you need me, I'll be gone

[Chorus]
I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up
Gone like the dew from the buttercup
Gone like a woman treated wrong
If you need me, I'll be gone

[Verse 3]
So, what am I still doing here?
You've been doing me wrong for years
Tired of picking up and putting out
I'm leaving you lock, stock, and house
[Verse 4]
So, bye bye, baby, that's it, I'm packed
I'm a-leaving now, but I'll call back
And leave this message on the code-a-phone
Saying, if you need me, well, I'll be gone

[Chorus]
I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up
Gone like the dew from the buttercup
Gone like a woman treated wrong
If you need me, I'll be gone

Gone like the moon when the sun comes up
Gone like the dew from the buttercup
Gone like a woman leaving home
If you need me, I'll be gone
If you need me, I'll be gone

[Outro]
If you need me, I'll be gone
I said, if you need me, I'll be gone
