Chorus:

First you say that you have to go away

I never should have been with you anyway

Now you say you want to stay

It's too late, cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you have to go away

I never really loved you anyway

Now you say you want to stay

It's too late, it's too late

Like a puppet on a string

you came and took control of me

Would've given anything

to be your one and only

Filled my head with fantasies

of what one day you'd give to me

Full of hope of what could be

(I sat and waited patiently)

Chorus (1x)

For a time you were for me --

everything that I could need

Gave me time and diamond rings

but something else was missing

Never stayed the whole night through

I suffered, prayed, and cried for you

After all that we've been through

I feel I never really knew you

Chorus (1x)

There's no need to call me on the phone

Don't wanna hear from you no more

No need -- don't call

Don't be a fool and stand outside my door

cause being the woman that I am

I got to go on with other plans

Chorus (to fade)
