[Male]
  Monica baby, I'm sorry
  I know I was wrong, but I think we can work it out
  Just try to hear me out
    [Monica]
  Nah, you hear me out
    [Verse 1]
  I gave you so much love, but you had to play with my affections
  My heart was in your hands, but you had to play with all my feelings
  You got your mack on, but now I'm gone
  Cause I'd rather be all alone
  Away from all these silly games
    [Chorus]
  I gave you no reason why
  Just said do your thing on the side
  But now I'm gone
  Cause it will never be the same
    You were busy kicking it with your boys
  Instead of taking care of your girl
  But now I'm gone
  Gone away from you
    [Verse 2]
  I thought I knew you well
  But you ran away, didn't care about me
  You told so many lies
  Thought you could run away from this thing called reality
  But I'm long gone, I got to go on
  There's someone waiting for me
  To love me honestly
    [Chorus]
  I gave you no reason why
  Just said do your thing on the side
  But now I'm gone
  Cause it will never be the same, yeah
    Your were busy kicking it with your boys
  Instead of taking care of your girl
  But now I'm gone
  I'm gone away from you, oh my boy, hey
    I gave you no reason why
  Just said do your thing on the side
  But now I'm gone
  Cause it will never be the same, naw
    You were busy kicking it with your boys (You shoulda been taking care of your girl)
  Instead of taking care of your girl
  But now I'm gone
  But now I'm gone, oh now I'm gone, now I'm gon' away from you
  [Monica speaking]
  You see, the things you did to me back then, I'm long gon' from it now
  Baby I gotta go my own way
  They say (they say)
  That you never (miss a good thing)
  Until it's gon' (Until it's gone away)
    [Repeat chorus and ad libs until fade]
