Patti LaBelle - Gotta Go Solo Lyrics

Raindrops on my window seal
Its quiet as a mouse in here
You're somewhere with the girls doing nails
Dinners takeout, no home cooking 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
Twenty years, should remove all doubt

{Chorus]
Ronald Isley: If you love me,(I love you) then how could you go
Patti Labelle: It's not about the love, its 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 friend maybe its time I go solo

I know this is confusing to you
But its been coming for a mighty long time
A woman needs to be loved
Enter too body, soul, and mind
You've been taking me for granted
No surprises, no flowers on rainy days
Now I can keep you just the way you are
But I know some things will never change

[Chorus]

Patti Labelle: I can't sing this melody no more, I've sung it for so long
Ronald Isley: Is it the verse, the chorus, or the bridge.
(I don't know)just tell me exactly what it is
Patti Labelle: I don't know while we're over troubled waters, I think the show is over

[Chorus]
