I can't love you baby anymore
I can't love you baby anymore
Gotta be the one to tell you
Gotta be the one to break this spell that I put you on
Oh but I was wrong
Ooh gotta be the one to see you cry
Gotta be the one to dry your eyes as we say goodbye
And all those other lies
'Cause I can't love you baby anymore
I can't love you baby anymore
I was wrong
I thought it all along
Thought we'd get over it
But the pieces
Didn't seem to fit
And now here I am right down upon the floor
Just because I can't love you baby anymore
Gotta be the one to tell you
Got to be the one to break the spell that I put you on
Oh but I was wrong
Ooh gotta be the one to see you cry
Gotta be the one to dry your eyes as we say goodbye
And all those other lies
'Cause I can't love you baby anymore
I can't love you baby anymore
I can't love you baby anymore
And though it hurts me so
It's just that
One of us must go
And now it's down to me
I've got to set you free
Just because I can't love you baby anymore
I can't love you baby anymore
Gotta be the one
Got to be the one
Got to be the one
Got to be the one
Got to be the one
Ooh
Uh huh
Gotta be the one
Got to be the one
Got to be the one
Got to be the one
Got to be the one
Yeah yeah
Ooh ooh
Gotta be the one
Got to be the one
Got to be the one
Got to be the one
Oh gotta be the one
Mmm gotta be the one
