If I dont pick up the phone like I used to (for you)
dont you take it personal
if I dont do all the things that I used to do (to you)
I aint mad at you
if you get to feeling stressed up in your chest
thinking that you about to lose
(baby its true)
and if you losing out on sleep
on worrying about me
this how it be

if you dont know
now you know youre gonna miss (my love)
and i aint stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause i was true when i gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find another love like ( my love)
youre gonna miss me
i aint got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)

if you think i caught a feeling
when i heard about that other chick (no)
i already knew about it
i just needed time
just to clear my mind
and ask myself
(why i didnt handle him)
if you wouldve taken care of home
instead of leaving me alone
(I) still would be right there with you
taking care of you
instead of loving you
like i used to do

if you dont know
now you know youre gonna miss (my love)
and i aint stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause i was true when i gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find another love like ( my love)
youre gonna miss me
i aint got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)

there once was a time
i blamed myself for what was wrong
(i can see so clearly now because you are gone)
thats how i spent all my time when you werent home
(playin around with them raggedy heffers)
therell be no more stressing
no more crying no more trying
I would rather be alone
(Id rather be all by myself yeah)
cause this valuable heart of mine
was yours until i realized finally opened my eyes

i know i know better
what was i thinking?
he gon miss me when im gone

if you dont know
now you know youre gonna miss (my love)
and i aint stressing bout a dog gone thing
cause i was true when i gave you (my love)
if you search you will never find another love like ( my love)
youre gonna miss me
i aint got time while you sit around and play with my (my love)
