Please don't come around talking 'bout that you love me
'Cause that love just ain't for me
I don't wanna hear that you adore me
And I know that all you're doing is running your mind games
Don't you know that game repeats game?
So your best bet is to be straight with me

So you say you wanna talk, let's talk
If you won't talk, I'll walk
Yeah, it's like that
I got a new man, he's waitin' out back
Now what, whatcha think about that?
Now when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
What you wanna say?
Had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

Please don't come around talking 'bout how you changed
How you said goodbye to what's-her-name
All it sounds like to me is new game
And I was right when I thought I'd be much better off without you
Had to get myself from 'round you
'Cause my life was all about you

So you say you wanna talk, I don't
Say you wanna change, I won't
Yeah, it's like that
Had your chance, won't take you back
Now what, whatcha think about that?
And when I say I'm through, I'm through
Basically I'm through with you
What you wanna say?
I had to have it your way, had to play games
Now you're begging me to stay

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that, so
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

Don't you wish you could turn the hands of time?
Don't you wish that you still were mine?
Don't you wish I'd take you back?
Don't you wish that things were simple like that? Oh
Didn't miss a good thing 'til it's gone
But I knew it wouldn't be long
'Til you came running back
Missing my love, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

There you go, looking pitiful
Just because I let you go
There you go, talking 'bout you want me back
But sometimes it be's like that
There you go, talking 'bout you miss me so
That you love me so, why I let you go?
Yeah, you know 'cause your lies got old
Look at you, there you go

So there you go, there you go
