I can't wait 'till you try to come back girl
When things they don't work out for you
Who do you think you're messing with, girl?
What do you think you're trying to do? (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Who do you think you're messing with, girl? (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
What do you think you're trying to do? (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do you really think I gonna be one of that girl? (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Who do you think you're trying to fool?
First you said I was blind
And it's gonna be different this time
I thought you made up your mind
I thought you made up your mind (yeah)
I thought you made up, I thought you made up
I thought you made up your mind
So many times I've gotten used to this
This old idea of being all alone
Tell me how I'm supposed to get through with this?
I wish this house felt like a home (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Who do you think you're messing with, girl? (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
What do you think you're trying to do? (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Do you really think I gonna be one of that girl? (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Who do you think you're trying to fool?
First you said I was blind
You certainly took your time
I thought you made up your mind
I thought you made up your mind (yeah)
I thought you made up, I thought you made up
I thought you made up your mind
