Gotta go solo (feat. ronald isley)

Raindrops on my window seal (well, well, well)
It's quiet as a mouse in here (oh, oh, ooh)
You're somewhere with the girls doing nails
Dinner's takeout, no homecooking all year
Ain't no use pretending (no, no)
'Cause perfect I know I have not been
But there's gotta be a way to work things out (oh)
Twenty years, should remove all doubt

[Ronald isley:] if you love me
(I love you) 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
[Ronald isley:] if you ever loved me
(I love you baby) then how could you leave
[Patti labelle:] some songs have gotta end
We're better off as friends maybe it's time I go solo

I know this is confusing to you (very, very, very)
But it's been coming for a mighty long time (a mighty long time)
A woman needs to be loved
Head to toe
Body, soul, and mind
You've been taking me for granted (have I really?)
No surprises, no flowers on rainy days
Now I can keep u just the way you are
But I know some things will never change

If you love me(I love you baby)
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
Hey, if you ever loved me
(I love you baby) then how could you leave
[Patti labelle:] some songs have gotta end
We're better off as friends maybe it's time I go solo solo solo

[Patti labelle:] I can't sing this melody no more, I've sung it for so long
[Ronald isley:] is it the chorus, the verse, or the bridge
(I don't know)just tell me exactly what it is
[Patti labelle:] ron we're over troubled waters I can just show it's over
[Ronald isley:] if you love me (oh, ron I still love you baby) then how could you go
[Patti labelle:] hew, it's not about the love it's just I've had enough maybe we need to let it go, let it go
[Ronald isley:] if you ever loved me(oh, ron you know I love ya) then how could you leave
[Patti labelle:] some songs have gotta end we're better off as friends mrs. Patti's gotta go solo... Solo

[Patti labelle:] breakdown
[Ronald isley:] if you ever loved me
[Patti labelle:] I love you baby, ron I love you
[Ronald isley:] oh, oh, ooh, how could you leave
[Patti labelle:] that a right, I'm gonna tell you why
You been mr. Bigg
You been mr. Bigg too long
Now honey here's mrs. Bigg
[Ronald isley:] talk to me
[Patti labelle:] that's what I've been doing all for twenty long years
[Ronald isley:] yeah
