The reason why, oh, I can't say
I gotta 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 (had me believe)
You said your love was all mine (that your love was all mine)
That's the way it would be (ah, ah, ah)
But I didn't know (I didn't know)
That you were putting me on (ah, ah, ah)
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone

Now I got to say (I got to say)
That it's not like before (that it's not like before)
And I'm not gonna play (and I'm not gonna play)
Your games anymore (oh, oh, oh)
After what you did (after what you did)
I can't stay on (ah, ah, ah)
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
