Lyrics:

Baby I couldn't make it
Coming off your love cold turkey
I couldn't take the shock of you being gone
No I couldn't make it
Coming off your love cold turkey
Now baby leave a little at a time
So that I can still go on

Now we've been together a very long time now
And half of our lives
We've had our troubles and bad times
But we sure had a bunch of highs
I know I've been a work-a-holic
But scratchin' ain't easy these days
You say you need to go
Well maybe that's so
But baby I just got to say

Baby I couldn't make it
Coming off your love cold turkey
I couldn't take the shock of you being gone
No I couldn't make it
Coming off your love cold turkey
Now baby leave a little at a time
So that I can still go on

Now I know that I ain't been a while to be
But some of the blame's yours too
And if we can't work it out this time
I swear I'll do right by you
I wouldn't leave you high and dry, baby
'Cause I love you in a thousand ways
You say you gotta go
Baby, move real slow
Cause one more time I just gotta say

Baby I couldn't make it
Coming off your love cold turkey
I couldn't take the shock of you being gone
No I couldn't make it
Coming off your love cold turkey
Now baby leave a little at a time
So that I can still go on
