Gotta Go Solo - Patti LaBelle
[ Ron Isley ] Raindrops on my window sill (well well well)
As quiet as a mouse in here (oh.. uh...)
You're somewhere with the girls doing nails
Dinners takeout no home cooking all year (oh...)
Ain't no use pretending ah naw (ah naw)
Cause perfect I know I have not been (uh...)
But theres gotta be a way to work things out (out)
Twenty years should remove
Chorus
[ Ron Isley ] If you love me
[ Patti Labelle ]I love you
[ Ron Isley ] Then how could you go
[ Patti Labelle ]It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough, maybe we need to let it go (well well well hey)
[ Ron Isley ] If you ever loved me
[ Patti Labelle ]I love you baby
[ Ron Isley ] Then how could you leave
[ Patti Labelle ]Some songs have got to end, we're better off as friends, maybe it's time I go solo (oh)
[ Patti Labelle ]I know this is confusing to you (very very very)
But it's been coming for a mighty (mighty mighty) long time (long time)
A woman needs to be loved ( I love you baby)
? by the soul, body and mind
You've been taking me for granted (have I really)
No surprises, no flowers, or rings (no..)
Now I can keep you just the way you are, but I know (wait) somethings (listen) will never change
Chorus
[ Ron Isley ] If you love me
[ Patti Labelle ]I love you baby
[ Ron Isley ] Then how could you go
[ Patti Labelle ]It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough, (oh) maybe we need to let it go (well well well)
[ Ron Isley ] If you ever loved me
[ Patti Labelle ]I love you baby
[ Ron Isley ] Then how could you leave
[ Patti Labelle ]Some songs have got to end, we're better off as friends, maybe it's time I go solo... solo... solo (don't go)
Bridge:
[ Patti Labelle ]I can't sing this melody no more
I've sung it for so long
[ Ron Isley ] Is it the verses, the chorus, or the bridge
[ Patti Labelle ]I don't know
[ Ron Isley ] Just tell me exactly what it is
[ Patti Labelle ]While were over troubled waters, I think this show is over
Chorus:
[ Ron Isley ] If you love me
[ Patti Labelle ]Oh but i still love you
[ Ron Isley ] Then how could you go (oh)
[ Patti Labelle ]It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough, maybe we need to let it go (let it go)
[ Ron Isley ] If you ever loved me
[ Patti Labelle ]Oh Ron you know I love you
[ Ron Isley ] Then how could you leave
[ Patti Labelle ]Some songs have gotta end, we're better off as friends, Ms. Patti's gotta go solo... solo
[ Ron Isley ] Patti, (But ron) if really ever loved
[ Patti Labelle ]I love you baby, oh I love you oh
[ Ron Isley ] How could you leave
[ Patti Labelle ]I'ma tell you way, you been Mr. Bigg, (no no) you been Mr. Bigg too long, now honey

[ Ron Isley ] Talk to me
[ Patti Labelle ]That's what I been doing for twenty years
(guitar solo till end)
