Bettye LaVette

I gave you all of my love,
but you treated me like a fool.
I even gave up right for wrong,
trying, trying to get along with you.

When I wanted to hold you close,
you were always too tired,
or you had some place to go.
Listen daddy.

Walking out that door,
telling you goodbye,
I can't take it no more.
It's your time to cry,
oh it's your time to cry.

Oh, I tried staying with you,
because of our kids,
but you still wouldn't do right.
You leave oh early in the morning,

I wouldn't see you no more 'til late, late, late at night.

Although I still love you,
I'm afraid this is the end,
and I just can't afford to,
make that same mistake again.
Listen daddy.

Walking out that door,
telling you goodbye,
I can't take it no more.
I can't take it no more.
It's your time to cry,
oh it's your time to cry.

It's over, it's over, it's over...
