Lyrics

Baggage
(Intro)
I. Don't know why, I'm thinkin' 'bout you now. Don't know!
So messed up. You're always in my head. My head!
We split th' sheets weeks ago, so why can't I let you go? Let you go!
(Chorus)
I got baggage, draggin' me down.
I got baggage. He left town.
Lemme 'splain it to ya now.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E, left me with no money.
Single mom with three young kids.
No job and I'm on th' skids.
He ran out and left me with baggage.
I can't lose my baggage.
(Turnaround)
II. So I cry, each night I lay in bed. Our bed!
I can't sleep. You love me in my dreams. My dreams!
I wake up cold in a sweat. Losin' you is worse than death. Worse than death!
(Chorus)
I got baggage, draggin' me down.
I got baggage. He left town.
Lemme 'splain it to ya now.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E, left me with no money.
Single mom with three young kids.
No job and I'm on th' skids.
He ran out and left me with baggage.
I can't lose my baggage.
III. Got no one, to bail me out a here. No one!
Want to run. I'm paralyzed with fear. With fear!
Th' kids and I need you now. Please, man up. Come back to town. Back to town! Back to town!
(Chorus)
I got baggage, draggin' me down.
I got baggage. He left town.
Lemme 'splain it to ya now.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E, left me with no money.
Single mom with three young kids.
No job and I'm on th' skids.
He ran out and left me with baggage.
I can't lose my baggage.
(Tag)
Can't lose my baggage. Don't wanna lose my baggage.
