Up and gone, lickety split
Time weren't right now, for this
Hindsight says I should've known
Somebody like you, was bound to go
Be on your merry way
I can't stand for you to stay
A wise man says I should've seen
Your spirit's strong, but your soul is weak
Chorus:
Now that you're gone
I've gotta look back at myself
No tellin' what I may find
One thing's for sure
I've finally come to grips
That you rendered yourself gone, lickety split
Up and gone, lickety split
now is the time y'all for this
some folks told me not to go
but if they could see my heart, they'd surely know
