[Intro]

Ladies, if your man ain't putting in work no more, more, more

Well, I think you better listen

Girl, turn up your radio, oh, oh, ooh

[Verse 1]

Date night (We used to do it)

Long walks (We used to do it)

Take me to the club when you're with your friends

Oh, yeah, you know that you (You used to do it)

Compliments, affection and passion (You used to do it)

Every single night in the bedroom

Oh, yeah, hell yeah, you know we used to do it

[Pre-Chorus]

Whatever it took to get me, boy

Oh, you gotta keep it up to keep me around

Whatever it took to get me, boy

Well, you know you got to double up now

[Chorus]

Because I'm 'bout to leave (Leave)

You (You)

For a man that's doing all the things you used to do (Do)

Yeah, I'm 'bout to leave (Leave)

You (You)

For somebody that'll do a whole lot better than you (You)

I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you

Boy I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you

[Verse 2]

Long talks (We used to do it)

Compromising (We used to do it)

Cry together

Laugh together

Share the same dreams (We used to do it)

Hold me, protect me, respect me (You used to do it)

Pick my mama up from Sunday School, you used to do it

[Pre-Chorus]

Whatever it took to get me, boy

Oh, you gotta keep it up to keep me around

Whatever it took to get me, boy (Oh)

Well, you know you got to double up now

[Chorus]

Because I'm 'bout to leave (Leave)

You (You)

For a man that's doing all the things you used to do (Used to do)

Yeah, I'm 'bout to leave (Leave)

You (You)

For somebody that'll do a whole lot better than you (Better than you)

I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you

Boy I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you

[Verse 3]

You used to write me sweet poems

Leave 'em right at my front door

Giving me back rubs even when I didn't ask for 'em

You bathed me, sing to me

All the little things for me

And that's what made me fall in love with you

[Chorus]

Because I'm 'bout to leave (Leave)

You (Leaving you, you)

For a man that's doing all the things you used to do (Everything you used to do)

Yeah, I'm 'bout to leave (Leave)

You (You)

For somebody that'll do a whole lot better than you (Better than you)

I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you (I am leaving)

Boy I'm 'bout to leave, leave, leave you (I'm leaving you)

[Verse 4]

I put this on my mama

You keep doing the same thing, huh

Silence gonna be your best friend

'Cause I won't be here

And this house gonna be so cold without me here, oh

You ain't got to worry no more

I'm packing up my bags and I'm out the front door

Bye, bye, bye, bye bye, bye, bye, bye-de-eye (Oh)
