The reason why,
Oh I can say
I have to let you go, babe
And run away

After what you did,
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Baby for a long time (baby for a long time)
You had me believe (you had me believe)
Oh that your love was all mine (that your love was all mine)
And that's the way it would be

But I didn't know (but I didn't know)
That you were putting me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone,
Up when you're gone

Now I've got to say (now I've got to say)
That it's not like before (that it's not like before)
And I'm not going to play (and I'm not going to play)
Your games anymore

After what you did (after what you did)
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone,
Up when you're gone

Up when you're gone
Up when you're gone
