Lyrics (emotional)

[Verse 1]
 Well, when you go
Don't ever think I'll make you try to stay
And maybe when you get back
I'll be off to find another way

[Pre-Chorus 1]
 And after all this time that you still owe
You're still a good-for-nothing I don't know
So take your gloves and get out
Better get out
While you can

[Chorus]
 When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"?

[Verse 2]
 Sometimes I cry so hard from pleading
So sick and tired of all the needless beating
But baby, when they knock you
Down and out
Is where you oughta stay

[Pre-Chorus 2]
 And after all the blood that you still owe
Another dollar's just another blow
So fix your eyes and get up
Better get up
While you can
Whoa, whoa, whoa

[Chorus]
 When you go
Would you even turn to say
"I don't love you
Like I did
Yesterday"?

Well, come on, come on

[Chorus]
 When you go
Would you have the guts to say
"I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday"?
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
I don't love you
Like I loved you
Yesterday
