My old man was a hot old flame But over time, there was too many games I don't like where things have gone I see who his eyes been wandering on Nothin' to talk over, I'm taking cover I'm outta' here, you can have your new lover Ya Gotta' go. It's over. I can't stay no more. Ya Gotta' go He can be sweet, but rotten to the core. Ya Gotta' go I need some nice things, the things that I adore. Ya Gotta' go I'm Packin' my stuff, I'm headin' for the door Ya Gotta' go. Oh, yeah. Ya Gotta' go Oh, I know. Ya Gotta' go. Time to end this crazy show Just the other night, he never came home Tried to call him, on his phone He finally answered and I heard a woman moan. When he got back, I gave him my tone He turned my heart to a pile of stones He's so bad… I knew it in my bones Ya Gotta' go. It's over. I can't stay no more. Ya Gotta' go He can be sweet, but rotten to the core. Ya Gotta' go I need some nice things, the things that I adore. Ya Gotta' go I'm Packin' my stuff, I'm headin' for the door Ya Gotta' go.
