She says, "It's not you, it's me
I need a little time, a little space
A place to find myself again, you know"
Oh yeah, I know a goodbye when I hear it
She smiles, but her heart's already out there
Walking down the street
She says, "I don't want nobody else, I love you"
She's lying
"There won't be somebody else, and that's true"
She's lying
"Say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling"
Why does she pretend?
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart beating at another door
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
She says, "It's like in a song, remember?
If you love somebody, set them free
Well, that's how it is with me, but you know I'll always come back"
And then she kisses me
And somewhere I hear a door slam, so I say, "Fine"
And just hope that I'm a better liar than she is
She says, "I don't want nobody else, I love you"
She's lying
"There won't be somebody else, and that's true"
She's lying
"Say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling"
Why does she pretend?
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart beating at another door
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
A woman like you's no good for me
Your heart beating at another door
I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more)
That's what I am
