Somebody's knocking at my door
(Could it be)
It's a quarter after 4
I throw my covers off
Start walking down the hall
And open up the door
Whoa whoa
I see you standing in the rain
(You say to me)
Baby I made a big mistake
I don't love her
I want for us to work
Give me another turn
I look him straight in the eyes
And I said
Don't come any closer
Can't cry on my shoulder
You just gonna have to live with the choice you made
What we have was over
The second you chose her
So don't come any closer
I see the twinkle in your eyes yeah
And I start thinking that it might
Not hurt to let you in
Let you touch me again
And fill what I've been missing
Oh whoa whoa
Oh then I remember how it felt
When you gave your love to someone else
I can't do that to her
That pain no one deserves
Then I built up the nerve
To look you right in your eyes and say
Don't come any closer
Can't cry on my shoulder
You just gonna have to live with the choice you made
What we have was over
The second you chose her
So don't come any closer
No you can't come in
That's all in the past
Maybe you should just go back to her
Don't ask for a kiss
Don't try to hold my hand
I just can't go back there again no
No no whoa no
So I look you right in your eyes and said
Don't come any closer
Can't cry on my shoulder
You just gonna have to live with the choice you made
What we have was over
The second you chose her
So don't come any closer
Don't come any closer
Can't cry on my shoulder
You just gonna have to live with the choice you made
What we have was over (it's over)
The second you chose her (yeah yeah)
So don't come any closer
