Not Gone Yet

You might have thought that I'd have gone by now,
that I'd have left you any way and any how.
But babe I'm telling you that I am here to stay,
you can't get rid of me in just a single day.

I'm not gone yet
I'm not gone yet
Even though you want me to I'm not gone yet.
You think you can discard me like a worn out pet
but babe I've gotta tell you that I'm not gone yet.

You might have thought that you could double cross
that I would never find you out or count the loss.
You might believe that you were free to go
but now I gotta tell you that it isn't so.

'cos I'm not gone yet
I'm not gone yet
Even though you want me to I'm not gone yet.
You think you can ignore me like we haven't met
but babe I've gotta tell you that I'm not gone yet.

You might believe that you could leave me twice
but I keep telling you you cannot meet the price.
The clock is ticking but I have one week
and you can try to stop me but I have to speak.

'cos I'm not gone yet
I'm not gone yet
Even though you want me to I'm not gone yet.
You think that you can say goodbye and then forget
but babe I've gotta tell you that I'm not gone yet.

(solo)

You might be hoping for a new life soon,
that you could go and dump me in an afternoon.
But I just know that I can change your mind
and so I'll stay around a little bit more time.

I'm not gone yet
I'm not gone yet
Even though you want me to I'm not gone yet.
You try to cash me in just like a losing bet
but babe I've gotta tell you that I'm not gone yet.

I'm not gone yet
I'm not gone yet
Even though you want me to I'm not gone yet.
If you're idea of love is in a tennis set
then babe I've gotta tell you that I'm not gone yet.
