LaBelle, Patti - Gotta Go Solo Lyrics






[Ronald Isley:]
Raindrops on my window seal (well, well, well)
It's quiet as a mouse in here (oh, oh, ooh)
You're somewhere with the girls doing nails
Dinner's takeout, no homecooking all year
Ain't no use pretending (no, no)
'Cause perfect I know I have not been
But there's gotta be a way to work things out (oh)
Twenty years, should remove all doubt

[Chorus 1:]
[Ronald Isley:] If you love me, (I love you) then how could you go
[Patti LaBelle:] It's not about the love, it's just I've had enough maybe we need to let it go
[Ronald Isley:] If you ever loved me, (I love you baby) then how could you leave
[Patti LaBelle:] some songs have gotta end, we're better off as friends maybe it's time I go solo

[Patti LaBelle:]
I know this is confusing to you (very, very, very)
But it's been coming for a mighty long time (a mighty long time)
A woman needs to be loved
Head to toe
Body, soul, and mind
You've been taking me for granted (have I really?)
No surprises, no flowers on rainy days
Now I can keep u just the way you are
But I know some things will never change

[Chorus 2:]
[Ronald Isley:] if you love me(I love you baby)then how could you go
[Patti LaBelle:] it's not about the love it's just I've had enough maybe we need to let it go
[Ronald Isley:] hey, if you ever loved me(I love you baby) then how could you leave
[Patti LaBelle:] some songs have gotta end we're better off as friends maybe it's time I go solo solo solo

[Bridge:]
[Patti LaBelle:] I can't sing this melody no more, I've sung it for so long
[Ronald Isley:] Is it the chorus, the verse, or the bridge.(I don't know)just tell me exactly what it is
[Patti LaBelle:] Ron we're over troubled waters I can just show it's over

[Chorus 3:]
[Ronald Isley:] if you love me (oh, Ron I still love you baby) then how could you go
[Patti LaBelle:] Hew, it's not about the love it's just I've had enough maybe we need to let it go, let it go
[Ronald Isley:] if you ever loved me(Oh, Ron you know I love ya) then how could you leave
[Patti LaBelle:] some songs have gotta end we're better off as friends Mrs. Patti's gotta go solo... solo

[Patti LaBelle:] Breakdown
[Ronald Isley:] If you ever loved me
[Patti LaBelle:] I love you baby, Ron I love you
[Ronald Isley:] Oh, oh, ooh, how could you leave
[Patti LaBelle:] That a right, I'm gonna tell you why
You been Mr. Bigg
You been Mr. Bigg too long
Now honey here's Mrs. Bigg
[Ronald Isley:] talk to me
[Patti LaBelle:] That's what I've been doing all for twenty long years
[Ronald Isley:] Yeah
[Guitar solo fades]

    M.... C....

    A--MEN TO OUR OLDER SCHOOL ADULTS WITH UNDERSTANDING

  75. J.... C....

     A combination of real soul to gold Pattie Labelle and Ron Isley a hallmark of greatness. This track should never be passover by our new upcoming artist.  So when you listen to it take serious notes and groove at this soulful level in your every performance. Rather it be live or just recordings. 

    J.... C....

    Awesome song I love you Its. Just I had enough

    I can really imagine Patti and Ron being a couple for a long a time and finally deciding to call it quits. Two of the realest singers to grace a radio

  93. D.... g....

    great song hands down!

  94. m.... ....

    Jimi "teaching" Ernie is a common myth.. Jimi lived with the Isley Brother when he toured with the older brothers Ronald, O'Kelly, and Rudolph. Ernie was little at the time. Jimi didn't formally "train" Ernie, but Ernie was most definitely "influenced" by Jimi, emulates and channels Jimi. Ernie told the Jimi Hendrix story when he was on the Experience Hendrix tours with Joe Satriani, Billy Cox, etc. Arsenio Hall also asked that question back when the Isleys were guests on the show in 1993.

  95. P.... L....

    My sentiments...and I am Ms Patti...heard this about a year ago. and Patti said what I needed to say.. Awesome..somethings you have to accept because people don't change... don't care to and thinks it's alright. Patti and Ronnie my two favorite vocolist...

  96. L.... N....

    What memories!! I heard this song years ago and it was only played on the radio 2 or 3 times and I have been searching for it ever since. Just got my first computer and it was worth it just to hear this song. Thanks!!!

  97. D.... T....

    he was trained by Jimi hendrix and is top ten guitarist ever up there with clapton and the other guitar legends
