Well I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the way
Right out of my life and into his arms to stay
You got tired of me, but you were supposed to be back some day
I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the way
Well, you said you needed time for a little peace of mind
You'd be back in a week or so
And then a week turned into a month or two
Now it's been about a year ago
And all the time I believed you still wanted me
But he was a workin' on you every day
I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the way
Chorus
I knew you was goin', but you didn't have to go all the way
