Lyrics
You need to know that we’re through
Think we’re long overdue now baby
Gotta open your eyes and realize that
I won’t be the one who will cry
So I’m telling you bye bye baby
I turn around and walk away from all your lies
Even now you know just how to play your games with my mind…
Why did you have to do me like that
I know that it’s wrong but still I always come back
You haven’t the right to say there isn’t any other way
I gotta find a way to fight temptation
How do you control me like that
I gotta move on there’s no escaping that fact
I’m not gonna let you say there isn’t any other way
I gotta find another way to fight temptation
True, there was a time when we were cool
But you took me for granted baby
And it opened up my eyes to realize that
I was with the wrong kind of guy
Now I’m telling you bye bye baby
Nothing you can say or do for me and you
Even now you know just how to play your games with my mind…
Why did you have to do me like that
I know that it’s wrong but still I always come back
You haven’t the right to say there isn’t any other way
I gotta find a way to fight temptation
How do you control me like that
I gotta move on there’s no escaping that fact
I’m not gonna let you say there isn’t any other way
I gotta find another way to fight temptation
Even now you know just how to play your games with my mind…
Why did you have to do me like that
I know that it’s wrong but still I always come back
You haven’t the right to say there isn’t any other way
I gotta find a way to fight temptation
How do you control me like that
I gotta move on there’s no escaping that fact
I’m not gonna let you say there isn’t any other way
I gotta find another way to fight temptation
