When I first saw you standing there,
|
I didn't know what to do.
|
It seems like everyone's together,
|
Except me and you.
|
So you took my hand and you made a vow,
|
And you held me close as we danced around.
|
That's how our story started out,
|
When our love was new.
|
What the hell was I thinkin' of,
|
I should've listened to what my friends say.
|
|
Was I never enough for you?
|
How much more did you think you could put me through?
|
Because...
|
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more.
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
|
So turn yourself around, oh right now.
|
|
I thought we had a good thing going,
|
I though it would last.
|
But somewhere along the way you changed,
|
And now there's no growing it back.
|
I couldn't see you for what you are,
|
Why did I let my feelings get in the way?
|
|
Was I never enough for you?
|
How much more did you think you could put me through?
|
Because...
|
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more.
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
|
So turn yourself around, oh right now.
|
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more.
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
|
So turn yourself around, oh oh right now.
|
|
How much more did you think you could put me through?
|
Because...
|
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more.
|
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
|
So turn yourself around, oh right now.
|
Just turn around and walk right now.
|
I don't need you around no way, no how.
