Gotta Go Solo - Patti LaBelle, Ronald Isley

You’re somewhere with the girls doing nails

Dinner’s takeout, no homecooking all year

Ain’t no use pretending (no, no)

'Cause perfect I know I have not been

But theres gotta be a way to work things out (oh)

20 years, should remove all doubt

(chrous)

Ronald Isley: If you love me,(i love you) then how could you go

Patti Labelle: It’s not about the love, its just I’ve had enough maybe we need

to let it go

Ronald Isley: If you ever loved me,(i love you baby) then how could you leave

Patti Labelle: some songs have gotta end, we're better off as friends maybe its

time I go solo

Patti Labelle:

I know this is confusing to you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

But its been coming for a mighty long time (a mighty long time)

A woman needs to be loved

Into body, soul, and mind

You’ve been taking me for granted (have I really?)

No surprises, no flowers on rainy days

Now I can keep u just the way you are

But I know some things will never change

Patti Labelle: I can’t sing this melody no more, I’ve sung it for so long

Ronald Isley: Is it the verse, the chorus, or the bridge.(i don’t know) just

Patti Labell: I dont know While we’re over troubled waters, I think the show is
