I'm Leavin'

About I'm Leavin'

"I'm Leavin'" is a song recorded by British singer Lisa Stansfield for her 1997 eponymous album. It was written by Crayge Lindesay and Telisa Stinson, and produced by Ian Devaney and Peter Mokran. The song received favorable reviews from music critics, who called it a melancholy ballad that "absolutely shines" as a dance track, and should have become a hit. It was released as the last promotional single from Lisa Stansfield in the United States on 9 February 1998. The track was remixed by Grammy Award-winning American dance producer, Hex Hector. In April 1998, "I'm Leavin'" became Stansfield's seventh song to top the Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs and fourth from Lisa Stansfield to do so (following "People Hold On" (The Bootleg Mixes), "Never, Never Gonna Give You Up" and "Never Gonna Fall"). This success on the dance chart prompted Arista Records to release The Remix Album in June 1998, which included two remixes of "I'm Leavin'." Eight years later, on 6 June 2006, Dance Vault Mixes with five of Hex Hector remixes were released digitally in the United States. In 2014, "I'm Leavin'" (Hex Hector N. Y. C. Rough Mix) was included on People Hold On ... The Remix Anthology and The Collection 1989–2003. more »

I come home from work and have a glass of wine 
Kick off my shoes and wait on you
Well it's way past dawn and your still gone
Where in the world is my boo?

See I was fallin' asleep and you were creeping in
I never would have noticed until when
Until I smelt perfume, the kind I do not wear
My baby's been messin' around again

[Chorus]
You shouldn't have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby I'm leavin' I'm leavin' I'm leavin'
Leavin' you
You shouldn't have done me babe
Now watch what I do to you
Baby I'm leavin' I'm leavin' I'm leavin'
Leavin' you

How could I be so dumb? I thought I loved a man
But more and more you proved to be a boy
and now I understand
But I can't baby sit no more, it? not what I loved you for
I'd rather be alone bye-bye cos' I'm really leavin' this time

[Chorus]

Look at you now begging down on your knees 
Thinking I'm coming back, Oh child please
I said I was leavin' I mean whet I say
There's no turning around I'm Ieavin' today

[Chorus]

No I can't baby sit no more, it's not what I loved you for
I'd rather be alone bye-bye cos' I'm really leavin' this time
