paroles de chanson Go! - Live from Showcase Live, Foxboro MA / 2010 - Betty Wright

I know all the doctors in the ER by name
All of the nurses know me the same
Bet they think I′m the clumsiest woman
I can hear 'em talkin′ 'bout me
When they see me coming
Bruised wrist and I didn't say braced
Black eyes from getting punched and punched
Over and Over in my face
Oh, I could call up some of my crazy cousins
Pookie and Peaches and Pumpkin
But I know that violence really don′t solve nothin′

You may think that I won't go
But I′m gone go
I can't stay here no more
Lord knows I gotta go
(Gotta go)
You may think that I won′t leave
But I'm gone go
I can′t take this no more
Lord knows I gotta go
(Gotta go)

You try to hide the beast inside
When we have company
Most of them don't have a clue what you do
When you're alone with me
Then you wanna front after your stunt
By taking me shopping
But I got trick for you baby
And your mouth gone be droppin′

You may think that I won′t leave
But I'm gone go
I can′t stay here no more
Lord knows I gotta go
(Gotta go)
You may think that I won't go
But I′m gone go
I can't take this no more
Lord knows I gotta go
(Gotta go)

You ain′t whooping on me no more
The last time you busted my lip, ooh yeah
I should've abandoned the ship
And given you your pink slip, well
Such a big, big man
Oh, why you gotta beat on me
(Beat up on me)
Just let's me know you ain′t the man
You supposed to be

Oh, you may think that I won′t go
But I'm gone go
(Gotta go baby)
I can′t stay here no more
(Can't stay, can′t stay)
Lord knows I gotta go
(Gotta go)
Get the nerve to go
You may think that I won't leave
But I′m gone go
I can't take this no more
Lord knows I gotta go
(Gotta go)

I'm gone wait till you sleepin′
And get my bag and start creepin′
Out the door can't take it no more
Oh, I gotta go
(Gotta go)

Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go

You wouldn′t want nobody beatin' up like that on your momma
(Your momma, your momma, your momma)
You wouldn′t want nobody beatin' up like that on your sister
(Your sister, your sister, your sister)
You wouldn′t want nobody beatin' up like that on your auntie
(Your auntie, your auntie, your auntie)
Sho' wouldn′t want nobody beatin′ up like that on your daughter
(Your daughter, your daughter, your daughter)

Why you gotta beat on me
(Why you gotta beat on me)
Why you gotta beat on me
(Why you gotta beat on me)
Why you gotta beat on me
(Why you gotta beat on me)
That ain't no way to treat a lady

I thought you really loved me, ha
I thought you really cared for me
Why you gotta beat on me

See, you gone be walkin′ around one day
(Mhm)
Sunshine nothing on your mind
Thinking everything is just fine
And look out Miss Celie finna shave Mister

(Wake up baby, wake up baby)
While you can still wake up baby
