lyrics

I'm gonna make some changes
gonna do some rearranging
won't ever have you back again, this time
I'm taking the high road and leaving you behind

You've used me up so many times before
and it ain't ever long til you're back at my door
why can't you understand, I ain't your fool anymore

And everytime you've left and come back again
I've gone out of my way just so you could have a friend
I've been wasting my time acting like you ain't done me wrong

I'm gonna make some changes
gonna do some rearranging
won't ever have you back again, this time
I'm taking the high road and leaving you behind

And the next time you come callin'
I'm making time on some old highway
You can hop on your high horse mama
but you ain't ever catching up with me

Now don't you come around here sticking out your hand
I'm gonna find me a woman who respects a decent man
Well you took me for granted and this heart won't need you to mend

I'm gonna make some changes
gonna do some rearranging
won't ever have you back again, this time
I'm taking the high road and leaving you behind
