I couldn't get nowhere
wouldn't get growing
My eyes just wouldn't show me
just where I'm going
I was blinded with you here, baby
Trying to find what isn't there, girl

Girl, I didn't give you heart
Because I didn't think
you were my right love
Oh, I tried girl
Girl, I didn't give you heart
Because I didn't think
you were my right love
Oh, I tried girl

I found me when you left, baby
I felt free with you gone
I found freedom when you left, darling
I felt free with you gone
I found me when you left, baby
I felt free with you gone
I found freedom when you left, darling
I felt free with you gone

Girl, why was I fighting?
Why was I trying?
I searched, I couldn't find it,
no I couldn't find it
I was blinded with you here, baby
Trying to find what isn't there, darling

I found me when you left, baby
I felt free with you gone
I found freedom when you left, darling
I felt free with you gone
I found me when you left, baby
I felt free with you gone
I found freedom when you left, darling
I felt free with you gone

Ooh, baby I would
Ooh, baby I did try
Ooh, I had love for you
Ooh, yeah I did try

I found me when you left, baby
I felt free with you gone
I found freedom when you left, darling
I felt free with you gone
I found me when you left, baby
I felt free with you gone
I found freedom when you left, darling
I felt free with you gone

Ooh, baby I would
Ooh, baby I did try
Ooh, still here for you
Ooh, yeah I did try
