I'm going away honey, and I'm going to stay. Baby you're going to miss me. That's why I'm going away. You calls me your honey, You spends all my money. Then you think that's funny? That's why I'm going away. You know you were't true, baby, I believed in you, I am broken-hearted, just over the way you do. You said you loved me, honey, no other one but me, You never gave me no lovin' -- that's why I'm going away. Never gonna be no sunshine, 'Sgonna always be rain, Honey, you're gonna want me to come back again, Never gonna be no sunshine, s'gonna always be rain, You never gave me no lovin' -- that's why I'm going away.
