Breakaway Alternate Take by Millie Jackson Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know, whatever I had going for me must be gone
Just look at my man rapping with that other woman
Right in front of my face, just doing it!
[Chorus]
I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
Waow! I got to leave you now (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
I got to leave you now (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
[Verse 2]
I tried so hard to be your lady
And treat you like a woman should do
Between me, her, and that bedpost
You don't appreciate the things I do
[Pre-Chorus]
The devil must've snatched your mind
You don't know what you want half the time
Experience, they say, is the teacher
This time experience beat ya
[Chorus]
I got to break away (break away), waow!
I got to leave you now (break away), yes I have
I got to break away
I got to leave you now
[Verse 3]
Ten times already, I warned you: by eleven
Some other girls ain't leaving me behind
I told you, ask for what you want right now
And I'll get it to you right on time
[Pre-Chorus]
But the devil must've snatched your mind
You don't know what you want half the time
Experience, they say, is the teacher
This time experience beat ya
[Chorus]
I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
Waow! I got to leave you now (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
I got to leave you now (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
You know why?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the devil must've snatched your mind
You don't know what you want half the time
Experience, they say, is the teacher
This time experience beat ya
[Outro]
Lord! I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
I got to leave you now (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
Baby, I got to leave you now (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
Lord! I'm packing my bags on you, baby (I'm packing my bags)
(I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
I can't take no more of this hurt you've been puttin' on me, no
I love you (I'm packing my bags)
But I just gotta break away (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
Don't you see me just packing my bags on you (I'm packing my bags)
I said I'm gettin' in the wind on you, baby (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
OW! Lord, I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
You know I'm leaving you now... (I got to leave you now...)
You know, whatever I had going for me must be gone
Just look at my man rapping with that other woman
Right in front of my face, just doing it!
[Chorus]
I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
Waow! I got to leave you now (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
I got to break away (I'm packing my bags)
I got to leave you now (I got to leave you now, uh-uh-uh)
[Verse 2]

You know I'm leaving you now... (I got to leave you now...)
