If U leave her now
U're never gonna 2 see her again (Never, no)
She's gonna need a shoulder 2 cry on
She's gonna need a friend
She's gonna need a pillow case — something 2 put those tears on
And I've got some purple satin laces
One second later than the second U're gone

She's gonna miss U at first
But then she's gonna buy me things
That's when I'm gonna lay her
'cross my piano stool and sing 2 her:

Chorus:
Honey, I tried 2 tell him
That U were the marrying kind
A faithful one-man woman
Best he would ever find
I guess he wasn't trying 2 hear that

So there ain't nothing left 2 say
I tried 2 tell him if U run 2 me
I, I won't run away
If U leave her now
U'll never get another glimpse

I'm gonna lace her with enough ice to recap the pole
There might be another solar eclipse
She gonna find out what I like upon my eggs
My bath water and how I like 2 be touched
(My bath water and how I like 2 be touched)

I'm gonna put her on the same diet Missy went on
U know she eat 2 much 2night
She's gonna miss U at first
Then she'll get used 2 me (Used 2 me)
All of the tricks I would try
2 make her take this ring and make love 2 me

Chorus

(I tried)
(Talkin' 'bout a faithful)
(Never gonna ever find)
(He wasn't even tryin')
(Nothin' left 2 say)
Run away {x3}
Don't run away
