She says 'it's not you - it's me
I need a little time, a little space
a place to find myself again you know?'
oh yes, I know a goodbye when I hear it
she smiles
but her heart's already out there
walking down the street

she says
'I don't want nobody else, I love you'
she's lying
'there won't be somebody else, and that's [bad word] 
she's lying
'say you'll always be my friend, sweet darling'
why does she pretend?

ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
a woman like you is no good for me
your heart's beating at another door
I'm a damned fool for to ask for more

she says
'it's like in a song, remember?
"if you love someone, set them free"
well, that's how it is for me
but you know i'll [bad word] back
and then she kisses me
and somewhere I hear a door slam
so I say 'fine'
and just hope that I'm a better liar
than she is

she says
'I don't want nobody else
I love you'.
she's lying
'say you'll always be my friend
sweet darling'
why does she pretend?

ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
a woman like you is no good for me
your heart's beating at another door
I'm a damned fool for to ask for more

ain't no doubt, it's plain to see
a woman like you is no good for me
your heart's beating at another door
I'm a damned fool for to ask for more
