Well baby, let me be your lover but don't you let me out of your sight
I said, lady hopefully you do me right
Cause you been talking to me in that evil tone
Knocked me down dirty kicked me out of your home
I got sixteen reasons to leave and I'm drawing the line

Darling you been speaking to me but you never look me in my eye
I said angel you been looking around all night
Tell me what your thinking up inside of your head
If you got another lover he'd be better off dead
I got sixteen reasons to leave and I'm drawing the line

I'm gonna leave you lady
I ain't staying here no more

What you got is good, I aint about to lie
I could find another in the blink of an eye
I got sixteen reasons to leave and I'm drawing the line

I'm gonna leave you lady
I ain't staying here no more

I'm so lonely I can't even sleep
My head is like a rattle I don't seem to think
I feel I'm dying but it's so hard to tell
Woman, why, you put me in hell

Baby, you been speaking to me, but you never look me in my eye
I said angel, are you doing other guys
Tell me what you're thinking up inside of your head
If you got another lover he'd be better off dead

I got sixteen reasons to leave
I got sixteen reasons to leave
I got sixteen better than you waiting in line
