When I first saw you standing there
I didn't know what to do
It seems like everyone's together
Except me and you
So you took my hand and you made a vow
And you held me close as we danced around
That's how our story started out
When our love was new
What the hell was I thinkin' of
I should've listened to what my friends say
Was I never enough for you
How much more did you think
you could put me through?
Because
If that's the way you wanna play
I don't need it
If that's the way you wanna play
I don't want it no more
If that's the way you wanna play
I don't need it
So turn yourself around, oh right now
I thought we had a good thing going
I though it would last
But somewhere along the way you changed
And now there's no growing it back
I couldn't see you for what you are
Why did I let my feelings get in the way?
Was I never enough for you?
How much more did you think you could put me through?
Because
How much more did you think you could put me through?
Because
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it
So turn yourself around, oh right now
Just turn around and walk right now
I don't need you around no way, no how
