dick smith (soul) - by the time i get to phoenix lyrics

[intro]
(i can’t stay no longer…)
(i can’t stay no longer…)
(i can’t stay no longer…)
i gotta go, i told you so
(i can’t stay no longer…)
don’t you go

[verse 1]
by the time i get to phoenix, she’ll be rising
(ooh, i can’t stay no longer…)
she’ll red the note i left hangin’, hangin’ on her door
(ooh, i can’t stay no longer…)
i wanna tell you, she’ll laugh when she reads the part
that says: “i can’t stay no longer” (i can’t stay no longer)
’cause i’ve left that girl so many times before…

[verse 2]
by the time i get to albuquerque, she’ll be working
(ooh, i can’t stay no longer…)
woo+woo, she’ll probably stop at lunch, y’all
ooh, and give your old boy a call
and she’ll hear that telephone keep on
(keep on ringing, keep on ringing)
right on the wall, that will be all…
[verse 3]
oh, by the time i get to oklahoma, she will be sleeping
turn softly, and call my name out low
and she’ll cry when she realizes (ooh…), that i really left her
oh, time after time after time after time after time
no, time after time tried my best to tell her so
(ooh, i can’t stay no longer…)
the girl, she just didn’t know (ooh…)

[vamp]
i’d… (i gotta go, i gotta go)
really go… (i gotta go, i gotta go)
(i gotta go, i gotta go)
now she knows (i gotta go, i gotta go)
i’d be gone (i gotta go, i gotta go)
she never thought i’d leave her (i gotta go, i gotta go)
never thought i’d go (i gotta go, i gotta go)
oh, i just can’t take no more (i gotta go, i gotta go)
i gotta go (i gotta go, i gotta go)

[outro]
deeper, deep in my heart i still love her so
but+but+but+but+but+but+but+but+but, i’ve got to go
goooone… i’m gone, this is goodbye, baby
and i think, i think you know why
i’m gone, gone, baby… but i still love you so
oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, i… i hate to go
oh, deep in my heart i still, i still, i still, i still
i still, i still love you so
