I found out today that you went on a little trip 
To somewhere you don't belong 
I want to be your friend, made just a little slip 
So I'm taking a little trip of my own

And I'm going to meet you 
I'm going to greet you 
At her back door as you're coming out 
Oh, I just know

'Cause I used to have angels that used to watch over me 
Love was not a stranger, but love ain't not what it used to be 
And I don't want these angels they're knocking at my door 
No, I can't love you no more.

You might have thought that I would be a little bit lazy 
I might not notice I might not care 
Oh, but now you're finding out, I'm a little bit crazy, 
And you were the one, so unaware

And I'm going to meet you 
I'm going to greet you 
At her back door as you're coming out 
Oh, I just know

'Cause I used to have angels that used to watch over me 
Love was not a stranger, but love ain't not what it used to be 
And I don't want these angels they're knocking at my door 
No, I can't love you no more.

Oh I'm going to walk on keep my feet movin' on

'Cause I used to have angels that used to watch over me 
Love was not a stranger, but love ain't not what it used to be 
And I don't want these angels they're knocking at my door 
No, I can't love you no more.

I'm going to let you go yes, I'm going to let you go 
I won't take it  I won't take it no more 
Do you hear what I'm saying?  
Do you hear what I'm saying? 
Don't think you can come back here to change my mind 
Don't think you can come back here to take it all back
