Story Behind The Song
I don't remember when I wrote this but it was several years ago. I had just seen either my ex-wife or an ex-girlfriend and whoever was with me at the time said, "I thought she left". I said, "she did, she just won't leave me alone". I knew right then that this was going to be a song. I personally think the lyrics are as clever as a song can be without being stupid. Women just plain confuse me, but I sure do like them.

Lyrics
YOU STUMBLE FOR THE RIGHT WORDS
AS YOU FIND A WAY TO SAY
I THINK YOU SAID YOU?RE LEAVING
IN YOUR OWN PECULIAR WAY
YOU TELL ME YOU DON?T LIKE ME
BUT I KNEW THAT WHEN WE MET
YOU?D REALLY LIKE TO BREAK MY HEART
BUT YOU?RE NOT FINNISHED YET
CHORUS
?CAUSE WOMEN LEAVE
BUT THEY WON?T LEAVE ME ALONE
WOMEN LEAVE
BUT THEY WON?T LEAVE ME ALONE
YOU SAY THIS TIME IT?S OVER
THEN YOU CALL ME ON THE PHONE
WOMEN LEAVE
BUT THEY WON?T LEAVE ME ALONE
I KIND OF HOPE IT?S OVER
AND IT?S TIME TO CUT AND RUN
BUT YOU KEEP COMING BACK AROUND
CAUSE I?M REALLY KIND OF FUN
JUST PUT YOUR HEART IN TO IT
AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
I?M REALLY NOT YOUR KIND OF MAN
AND YOU?RE DRIVING ME TO DRINK
CHORUS
I DON?T THINK I NEED NOBODY
AND I KNOW I DON?T NEED YOU
JUST WAITING FOR THE PROPER TIME
TO TELL ME THAT WE?RE THROUGH
I?M READY WHENEVER YOU ARE
TO GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS
IT?S JUST A STRANGE INFATUATION
AND IT?S SEEN IT?S BETTER DAYS
CHORUS
