If You Need Me — Dolly Parton

If you need me, i'll be gone

The bed's still warm where you just left But it'll be colder where i've slept I've always been where you needed me But i ain't the fool i used to be

You come home all hours of the night The fragrance on you ain't old spice Tonight when you come draggin' home And find you need me, i'll be gone

1st chorus:

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up Gone like the dew from the buttercup Gone like a woman treated wrong If you need me, i'll be gone

So, what am i still doing here? You've been doin' me wrong for years Tired of pickin' up and puttin' out I'm leaving you lock, stock, and house

So, bye, bye, baby That's it, i'm packed I'm a'leavin' now, but i'll call back And leave this message on the code-a-phone Sayin', if you need me, well, i'll be gone

2nd chorus:

I'll be gone like the moon when the sun comes up Gone like the dew from the buttercup Gone like a woman leavin' home If you need me, i'll be gone

Repeat 2nd chorus

I said, if you need me, i'll be gone
