Song Lyrics

If you should find me gone tomorrow
Baby, don't be too surprised
I've given all that I can give, girl
I'm tired being a compromise

Well, I tried to make you happy
But you were never satisfied
It's a hopeless situation
I think I should just step aside

Seems everything I do is one big mistake
There's only so much a human can take
Sometimes the right choice is the hardest one to make
But leavin' is the best thing for me, yeah

So, don't take it personally
It's nothin' personal, baby

Well, I'm that one guy in a million
That you picked out from the crowd
You were sure that you could change me
And I tried to make you proud

Who was right, who was wrong, baby
Just don't make no difference now
So, let's both make an admission
We just can't work it out, no, how

Don't get me wrong then right, then plead me to play
Nobody ever wrote the rules to this game
And I'd like to go out the way that I came
While I still got my sanity, yeah

So, don't take it personally
It's nothin' personal, baby

This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do
But it's a waste of my time to spend it with you
It may be hard right after all that I've been through
But I just can't wait to be free, yeah

So, don't take it personally
It's nothin' personal, baby
Well, don't take it personally
Don't take it personally

Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
