I CAN'T TARRY LONG

You ain't give me reason enough to go
You ain't give me reason to carry on
You ain't give me reason enough to go
So I'm still holdin' on
You ain't give me reason enough to go
But your love's grown cold
And I can't tarry long.

You ain't give me reason enough to go
Baby that day's gonna come
You ain't give me reason enough to go
Baby that day's gonna come
I got to let you know
Got my eyes on the door
And I can't tarry long

Won't you wake me in the mornin'
With your love turned ‘round
Won’t you wake me in the mornin'
With your love turned ‘round
Or someday you're gonna wake up
All alone – I'll be gone
‘Cause I can't tarry long

Now I just don’t understand it
Why you been treatin’ me so wrong
No I just can’t understand
Why you been treatin' me so wrong
Ain't I been good to you
Still you do what you do
Must I still tarry on

You ain't give me reason enuff to go
You ain't give me reason to carry on
You ain't give me reason enough to go
So I'm tryin' holdin' on
You ain't give me reason 'nuff to go
But your love's grown cold
And I can't tarry long.
