I know your last man did you wrong
And I know you and your mama don´t quite get along
And I know you´d help with the bills if you could
And I know that your intentions are basically good

But there´s one more thing that I definitely know

It´s baby,you´ve got to go

And I´m sure you´d cook if you knew how to use a pot
And I´m sure you´d clean if the soaps weren´t so hot
And I´m sure you´d mop the floors if you weren´t afraid of hot water
And I´m sure you do the laundry if you only had a quarter
And I´m sure that I wish that it just wasn´t so

But baby,you´ve got to go

And I know that you want a career in high fashion
´Cause when you buy your clothes you do it with passion

Well that´s chilly by me,you do what you will
But when you´re finished,don´t send me the bill
´Cause Halston and Jordache got enough of my dough

So baby,you´ve got to go

I´m sure you´ve got problems I can´t understand
And I´m sure it´s because I´m only a man
And I´m sure if I had an astounding I.Q
I could solve all the problems that happen to you
But I ain´t no genius,I just take it slow

So baby,you´ve got to go

Now I know you´re worried about what Erica will do tomorrow
But that won´t help pay back the money you borrow

And I know that each person must be someplace my dear
But I really don´t know why you must be here
So this is the day for your last tale of woe

´Cause baby,you´ve got to go
