If you don't (count the days)
Believe that I'm leaving (count the days)
Just count the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7) 2x

I gave you my heart
You gave me hurt
I gave you my sugar
And all you did was give me dirt
You said that I, wouldn't have the nerve to leave
And if I did, I'd be the one to grieve

If you don't (count the days)
Believe that I'm leaving (count the days)
Just count the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)

No more tears, I got someone new
To do the things that you refused to do
You see a woman needs care, love and protection
I could never find you, when I needed affection

If you don't (count the days)
Believe that I'm leaving (count the days)
Just count the days that I'm gone
(1-2-3-4-5-6-7)

You won't, you have a chance, again, to treat me wrong
It's been a long, long time coming
But it would be, a long time going
