Just Go Home

Just Go Home I can hear you callin' me in the dead of the night Boy, the way you're treatin' me, you know it just ain't right You call me up and tell me things with you are not okay Well, I'm tired of the games you play I'm tired of the things you say... (chorus) Why don't you just go home And leave me alone Why don't you just go home I'm better off--better off alone I'm takin' back that part of me you crucified An' I'm not gonna' be here anymore... for you to compromise.... Just go home I could always see through you and the lies you told My heart ain't got swingin' doors and this gettin' old I cain't help you find your reason for another day Boy I'm tired of games you play I'm tired of the things you say (bridge) Too much heartache Too much pain Boy, what you do to me Is drivin' me insane... ...So why don't you (chorus) Just go home And leave me alone Why don't you just go home I'm better off--better off alone I'm takin' back that part of me you crucified And I'm not gonna be here anymore For you to compromise.... Go home Just go home Boy leave me alone... Go home....(ad lib) Deborah Burch--6/08/2012© Key of Dm

Hey, had you put this in one of the song lyric contests? I am surprised if you did and did not place because I think this would make a really great song! Maybe Mark could come up with a tune for it!!

Excellent lyrics, Deborah. Full marks for your endeavour. The bridge blends smoothly with the end refrain. I can tell you're not new to song writing. Well done! Hugs // paul

These are great lyrics, Deb... sounds like an acoustic country song. I can almost hear the strum of a lone guitar. Sending a hug and thanks for your visit (I'm sure that 'boyfriend' deserved your gift!)

You are obviously a musician, and I love this song you have written, just wish I could hear the melody behind it! GL

Very cool song, Deborah. I would love to hear this oldie but goodie song. The lyrics have bite and a dash of diss. A very clever, anti-love song. Love this poem. It gets a 7 and a fave, double combo. Love and peace to you always.
