I Had to Say It - Millie Jackson

You made plans to leave a thousand times I know And a thousand times I should have let you go But each time I'll always beg you back somehow If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now It'd all be over now cept the crying I'd be used to spending all my nights alone Wish I'd found the way to let you go somehow If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now It'd all be over now cept the crying I'd be used to spending all my nights alone Wish I'd found the way to let you go somehow If I'd left it up to you it'd all be over now

If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna do it Do it without me, no, no I thought that I could hold a candle All alone But without your love, I couldn't see a way Thought that I could play the hero On my own But without you, I just don't know who to save If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna be it Be it without me, no, no It's a long and lonely highway By yourself You could drive all night and never get too far You went and did it your way No one else But you only put the miles upon your heart If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna be it Be it without me, no You and I We didn't always get along, oh no Instead of goodbye Why don't we get on back where we both belong, oh If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna be it Be it without me If I had to do it all again I wouldn't wanna do it Do it without you If you had to be somebody's friend You wouldn't wanna be it Be it without me, no, oh no

Don't wanna find myself homogenized Don't wanna become the very thing that I despise Don't want my mommy feeding me culture with a spoon Don't wanna end up with as much a jezza balloon Don't want my ideas polluted by mediocrity Don't want my sentiments diluted This is important to me I've tried to give my best to you But you put up your ears And now I just can't take no more I've had it up to here Don't wanna be another boy next door Don't wanna pend up to the masses anymore Don't need the whole wide world to love me Don't wanna win the human race Don't need my music to be less when I'm running my face Don't wanna compromise my out for universal appeal Don't wanna be mass consumed I'm not a happy meal I've tried to give my best to you But you put up your ears And now I just can't take no more I've had it up to here I've moved out from the sticks Nobody believed in me Had to cut my way up Overcome all kinds of adversities Oh, if you think I need approval From a faceless John That's where you're wrong (so wrong) I've tried to give my best to you But you put up your ears And now I just can't take no more I've had it up to here (I've had it) (I've had it) I've had it up to here

It had to be you It had to be you I wandered around Finally found Somebody who Who'd make me be true Who'd make me be blue And even be glad Just to be sad Thinking of you Some others I've seen It had to be me I'm five foot ten A man among men And you're seven two But with all your faults It's you I adore When you stand up Your hands touch the floor It had to be me Unlucky me It had to be me

My boy Lollipop You made my heart go giddy-up You are as sweet as candy You're my sugar dandy Well oh, my boy Lollipop Never ever leave me Because it would grieve me My heart told me so I love you, I love you, I love you so But I don't want you to know I need you, I need you, I need you so And I'll never let you go My boy Lollipop You make my heart go giddy-up You set the world on fire You are my one desire Oh, my Lollipop I love you, I love you, I love you so But I don't want you to know I need you, I need you, I need you so And I'll never let you go My boy Lollipop You make my heart go giddy-up You set the world on fire You are my one desire Oh, my Lollipop Oh, my Lollipop My boy Lollipop My boy Lollipop

She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. Into her heart, into her heart she's waiting. She told me I must hold onto the mo-oment. And when the moments over I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone And like a bird, yes like a bird, she'll fly away. She never said, she never said she'd stay here. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that ship to come. I cannot fight, I cannot fight the ocean, all alone (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. Now kiss me on, now kiss me on my broken wings. Don't leave me here, don't leave me in the water. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. And when the rain comes down I will be washed away. I hope, I hope we meet again. I want, I want to hold you again. I hope, I hope we meet again. I'll know, I'll know until the end. I'll be all aloooone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone.
