Get away, get away from me now
You wanted to see me again
'Though when I was in need of a friend
You threw me away at the end of the day
So you're not going to do it again
You wasted my time all along
So I've nothing to say to you now
You wouldn't avail when the goods were for sale
So don't you come after me now
Get away
Stop the game, I want to start again
I changed my hand, thrown the old one in
I'm out on my own, strictly alone, and baby you're going to
See
Things turn around when you bring somebody down
Get away, get away, get away from me now
Get away, get away, get away from me now
Snapping your fingers at me
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
I'm a singular man and I do what I can
But I can't take a day more of you
It's a hell of game that you played
You leading me 'round by the nose
I'm so sick and tired of the same stupid lies
And you say that anything goes
Stop the game, I want to start again
I changed my hand, thrown the old one in
I'm out on my own, strictly alone, and baby you're going to
See
You don't have to choose when you've nothing left to lose
Get away, get away, get away from me now
Get away, get away, get away from me now
You wanted to see me again
'Though when I was in need of a friend
You threw me away at the end of the day
So you're not going to do it again
It's a hell of a game that you played
There was nothing that I wouldn't do
I'm so sick and tired of the same stupid lies
And I can't take a day more of you
