Leaving You Dinner

Ooh hoo y'all, I'm tired
Oh, Lord ooh, ooh
Y'all, I'm hungry oh, Lord, ooh-wee

Soon as I stepped up on her porch
I could smell the food, heh
But I knew something about this
Whole thing just wasn't cool
She had napkins with my initals on 'em
And soft candlelight, ha ha
But she had never done this before
And I knew something wasn't right
I didn't know, but I could feel
There was something special about this meal
She baked my favorite roast and
Baked my favorite bread and when I asked her
What we were celebratin'
Here's all she said

She said "Eat, you clown
Eat it, baby", well
"That's your "I'm leaving you" dinner
Pick up your fork and eat, you dog
Eat it, baby", well
"That's your "I'm leaving you" dinner"
Oh Lord

Ooh hoo
All of a sudden I ain't tired, oh Lord
Mmm, ooh hoo
All of a sudden your boy ain't hungry
Hey hey Lord, uh!

I said "Baby, you can't cook like
This for me and just leave", heh
She said "Well you better put some
Food in your deep freeze
For as soon as I wash these pots and pans
I'm goin' out the door
And you can bet when I leave this
Time I won't be back no more"

She said "Eat, you clown
Eat it, baby", well
"That's your "I'm leaving you" dinner
Pick up your fork and eat, you dog
Eat it, baby", well
"That's your "I'm leaving you" dinner"
Ooh ooh

What did I do? What did I say to make you
Walk out on me this way, ha
I worked, ha, and I worked hard, well
Gave you everything that your heart desired
Baby what is wrong, what did I do?
Baby, did I ever mistreat you, oh Lord
All you had to do was a-watch TV, ha
I don't see why you're doin' this to me
Lord you watched a-every night "The
Price Is Right"
One life to life, "Secret Storm"
They got it right
That's all you had to do, ha

All you had to do, baby, ha
All you had to do, baby
Why you wanna do me this way, ha
'Cause somehow I knew this
