you know
I let you get away
With far too much
i never said a thing
When you was comin' home
After the sun came up
and i never complained at all
When chicks you used to mess
With was still
Callin' your phone
i kept it all inside
And i let you think
That you was fooling me
i was down to ride
Cuz that's how
I thought a chick
Was supposed to be
[bridge]
maybe it's you
maybe it's me
maybe you and i
Was never meant to be
but you got to choose
it's her or it's me
but aint no coming back
If you choose to leave
[chorus]
if you want to go, baby you can go
but there ain't gon' be no running back
if you wanna leave, baby you can leave
but there ain't gon' be no running back
when your new girl can't do it right
you gon wish that you
Could get with me one more time
so go but you should know
there ain't gon' be no running back
now i never questioned you
when i smelled
Another girl's perfume up
On your clothes
and i never brought it up
When you were driving
Her around town
In the car that i owned
to the back of my mind
It all went
told myself it's okay
Cuz i know in the end
We'll be together
but that was a lie
I opened my eyes
And i'll never be
Deceived again[?]
[bridge]
maybe it's you
maybe it's me
maybe you and i
Was never meant to be
but you got to choose
it's her or it's me
but aint no coming back
If you choose to leave
[chorus]
if you want to go, baby you can go
but there ain't gon' be no running back
if you wanna leave, baby you can leave
but there ain't gon' be no running back
when your new girl can't do it right
you gon wish that you
Could get with me one more time
so go but you should know
there ain't gon' be no running back
far too long
I've tried to hope for the best
ignore the signs but
if you leave, that's that
there won't be no running back
far too long i've tried
to put it in the back of my mind
but if you leave, that's that
there won't be no running back
[chorus]
if you want to go, baby you can go
but there ain't gon' be no running back
if you wanna leave, baby you can leave
but there ain't gon' be no running back
when your new girl can't do it right
you gon wish
That you could get with me
One more time
so go but you should know
there ain't gon' be
No running back
