Yeah, you say you love me and you say you care But something's going on and I know ain't fair Things just ain't right when we're turtledovin' I think you're a giving me leftover lovin'
You come home late and then you fuss and fight You keep me awake telling me things are right Your lying ways ain't getting you nothin' You're giving me leftover lovin'
You kiss me like a brother, don't hold me tight You treat me like a pal While I'm working hard trying to do you right You're a painting the town with another gal
I'm tired of all your lying, tired of all your ways Tired of walking the floor while you run and play I'm leaving you and I ain't a bluffin' You're giving me leftover lovin'
I like my taters when they're good and hot When I make love, I give it all I got Your secondhand kisses seem a little cold Your leftover lovin' is a leaving me cold
You come home late, all lipstick smeared And when I started to fuss, your eyes filled with tears You better change or I'll be shovin' You're giving me leftover lovin'
You better treat me like they do in a picture show Give me all the lovin' you can I may be getting old, but I'm not that slow And I done picked me out another man
Mama's getting mad, getting madder faster There's lots of other fellows in this pasture I'm leaving you, I ain't a stopping for nothin' Keep your leftover lovin'.
