Lyrics

VERSE
She used to be my baby; she was my sweet pea, too
But she taught me quite a lesson that I’ll now teach to you
A baby is a brand new person coming from a stork
And sweet peas they are vegetables; you eat ’em with a fork

VERSE
Bacon, rump, or ribs, I was still a piece of ham
She fried me like a pork chop, baked me like a yam
I might as well be peanut butter covered by some jam
But it don’t matter anymore ’cause I don’t give a damn

CHORUS
(And) I’m gone, gone, gone — long gone
I’m done with her, maybe women altogether
Gotta get away; got to get myself together
’Til then I’m gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...
Long gone

VERSE
She called me up and told me I was acting like a fool
She said for me to come right back or she’d treat me mean and cruel
She said she’d make me look just like a piece of ugly fruit
But I told her to get over it ’cause I’d given her the boot

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
If you don’t know the meaning of hell
Let me tell you straight
It's the real truth seen too late

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
’Til then I'm gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone...
Long gone
