The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Uh
I see you standing
Others reacting
I see you whispering 'bout me
I know your games (games)
Would you have told me
Or left me lonely
Don't question me when you
Are to blame
(Ooh) I heard the rumors
I heard the stories (Ooh)
How was I supposed to act?
(Ooh) You said it was okay
(Ooh) I found you were so wrong now you
Say you want me back
Boy you've got decisions to make
It won't be my heart you'll break
What are you gonna do?
I want you to explain to me
Won't love you that easily
What are you gonna do?
We were together
But, but now it's over
Don't you come crawling back I
Don't feel the same (same)
You had your chance and
Don't understand when (when)
You broke my heart and you-you have not changed (that's right)
(Ooh) You played me over
And went off with her (Ooh)
How-how was I supposed to act?
(Ooh) You say she is nothing
(Ooh)And now I mean something to you
I don't want you back
Boy you've got decisions to make
It won't be my heart you'll break
What are you gonna do? (I, I)
I want you to explain to me
Won't love you that easily
What are you gonna do?
Cuz I'm not in love with you
(In a very strange and uncommon way!)
Explain yourself to me
I don't need this no more, no more
E-e-explain yourself to me
I don't need this (this) no more, no more
Boy you've got decisions to make
It won't be my heart you'll break
What are you gonna do?
I want you to explain to me
Won't love you that easily
What are you gonna do? (Do do d-d-d-d-d-do)
Boy you've got decisions to make (explain yourself to me)
It won't be my heart you'll break (I don't need this no more, no more)
What are you gonna do? (I, I)
I want you to explain to me (explain yourself to me)
Won't love you that easily (I don't need this no more, no more)
What are you gonna do?
(Cuz I'm not in love with you)
