Why do you call
When i'm not feelin' you
(Baby)
Why can't you leave boy
Just walk away
When are you going
To understand ohhha
What sort of things
They be tellin' you
I've got to stop them
From compelling you boy
They better stop
They're not helping you
Ohhha
Don't even try, cuz i know
That, you're not the one
Don't waste your time
Goodbye, don'tcha cry
The game is done
I'm gonna tell you right here
Let this be the last time
I'm gonna make it so clear
Boy, you must be outcha mind
I'm gonna tell you right here
Let this be the last time
I'm gonna make it so clear
You must be outcha mind
Don't you lie
Don't you try
Say goodbye
It just won't work
Your head's in the sky
Must be trippin'
Must be high
But there's so much
I'm worth
I'm not stupid
I'm not a fool
I know what I'm doin'
I went to school
You better listen
Do what you're told
My love's more valuable
Than a pot of gold
I'm gonna tell you right here
Let this be the last time
I'm gonna make it so clear
Boy you must be outcha mind
I'm gonna tell you right here
Let this be the last time
I'm gonna make it so clear
Must be outcha your mind
Don't even try
Cuz I,
Know that you're not the one
Don't waste your time
Goodbye, don't you cry
The game is done
Don't even try, cuz I
Know that you're not the one
Don't waste your time
Goodbye, don't you cry
The game is done
