If I don't pick up the phone like I used to
(for you)
don't you take it personal
If I don't do all the things that I used to do
(to you)
I ain't mad at you
If you get to feeling stressed up
in your chest thinking that you about to lose
(baby its true)
and if you losing out on sleep
on worrying about me
this how it be
If you don't know
now you know you're gonna miss (my love)
and I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause I was true when I gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find
another love like (my love)
you're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around
and play with my (my love)
if you think I caught a feeling
when I heard about that other chick (no)
I already knew about it
I just needed time just to clear my mind
and ask myself
(why I didn't handle him)
if you would've taken care of home
instead of leaving me alone
I still would be right there with you
taking care of you steady loving you
like I used to do
if you don't know
now you know youre gonna miss (my love)
and I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause I was true when I gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find
another love like ( my love)
you're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around
and play with my (my love)
there once was a time
I blamed myself for what was wrong
I can see so clearly now
because you are gone
that's how I spen't all my time
when you weren't home
playin around with them raggedy heffers
there'll be no more stressing
no more crying no more trying
I would rather be alone
I'd rather be all by myself yeah
cause this valuable heart of mine
was yours un'til I realized
finally opened my eyes

and I ain't stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause I was true when I gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find
another love like ( my love)
you're gonna miss me
I ain't got time while you sit around
and play with my (my love)
