Go and Sow

Why you have to leave me? 
Hmm hmm
Don’t you have no pity? 
Hmm hmm
Ya left me in the streets of the lonely
Ooh ooh
Now, I can’t be free like everybody
Ooh ooh

Why you have to go? Oooh
Why is it so hard to let you know
What’s going on in my mind —
Left behind, left behind, left behind
But I don’t mind as long as I unwind
Now, you reap what you sow
I told you so…
Ooh ooh

Where have you been? Where have you been?
You doing things right behind my back again
I told you so
You’re gonna pay
Go with the flow
I wanted to stay
Ooh ooh
Why you have to go?
Ooh ooh
Ya reap what you sow
Hmm
Now, you know
Hmm

Why you have to leave? Where did you leave?
Oh oh, no oh
Why you left me with a great sense of grief?
I don’t know
I grieve for your absence on my pitiful sleeve
Dead inside and on my knees, praying for relief
Ooh ooh

Why you have to go? Oooh
Why is it so hard to let you know
What’s going on in my mind —
Left behind, left behind, left behind
But I don’t mind as long as I unwind
Now, you reap what you sow
I told you so…
Ooh ooh

Where have you been? Where have you been?
You doing things right behind my back again
I told you so
You’re gonna pay
Go with the flow
I wanted to stay
Ooh ooh
Why you have to go?
Ooh ooh
Ya reap what you sow
Hmm
Now, you know
Hmm

You sow what you reap
When ya should reap what you sow
Now, we silently weep
Where did you go? Left with “I dunno”

Why you have to go? Oooh
Why is it so hard to let you know
What’s going on in my mind —
Left behind, left behind, left behind
But I don’t mind as long as I unwind
Now, you reap what you sow
I told you so…
Ooh ooh

Where have you been? Where have you been?
You doing things right behind my back again
I told you so
You’re gonna pay
Go with the flow
I wanted to stay
Ooh ooh
Why you have to go?
Ooh ooh
Ya reap what you sow
Hmm
Now, you know
Hmm

Reap what you sow
I hope that you know
That you lost a friend
From beginning to the end

Why you have to go? Oooh
Why is it so hard to let you know
What’s going on in my mind —
Left behind, left behind, left behind
But I don’t mind as long as I unwind
Now, you reap what you sow
I told you so…
Ooh ooh

Where have you been? Where have you been?
You doing things right behind my back again
I told you so
You’re gonna pay
Go with the flow
I wanted to stay
Ooh ooh
Why you have to go?
Ooh ooh
Ya reap what you sow
Hmm
Now, you know
Hmm

Now, you know
From beginning to the end
You reap what sow
So, we can all have a mend
Make amends 
For the wrong we’ve done
It ends
Right here, so get gone
I’ll be moving on, hun
Yeah, ya jumped the gun

Hope you can comprehend
You’re gonna reap till the end
