Don’t Mind if You Go
Chorus:
I don’t mind if you go
I just don’t want you to leave
Could use some time on my own
Don’t take it personally
I just need a little space
I won’t forget I can be replaced
But sometimes a man
Needs some time to pretend
He’s still free
No, I don’t mind if you go
I just don’t want you to leave
How long’s it been since you’ve seen your sister?
I bet she misses you
If you leave now you’ll be there by dinner
Stay a day or two
Don’t worry ‘bout me, I’ll be alright
The boys are coming over for some poker tonight
So ya might want to get while the traffic is light
(spoken) I ain't pushing you out the door or anything (but)
No I don’t mind if you go
I just don’t want you to leave
I love how we spend all our time together
Every minute of every blessed day
And I know we're gonna last forever
And I wouldn’t have it any other way
But, lookie there, its time for that football game
And there’s a six-pack and a see-gar
Calling my name
You're gonna miss all that fun, now ain't that a shame
(spoken) The keys are right there on the counter, babe (yeah)
I don’t mind if you go
I just don’t want you to leave
I got a beer in my hand
TV remote in the other
And if you’re too busy to call, I’ll understand
By the way, when was the last time you saw your mother…
