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 yeah, 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 true" 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's no good for me Your heart beating at another door I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more) She says, "It's like in a song, remember? If you love somebody, set them free Well, that's how it is with me, but you know I'll always come 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 "There won't be somebody else, and that's true" 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's no good for me Your heart beating at another door I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more) Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see A woman like you's no good for me Your heart beating at another door I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more) That's what I am "I don't want nobody else, I love you" She's lying "There won't be somebody else, and that's true" 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 (I'm a fool) A woman like you's no good for me (no matter how hard I try) Your heart beating at another door (beating, beating, beating, beating) I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more) That's what I am Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see (fool that I am) A woman like you's no good for me Your heart beating at another door I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more) But I still love you Ain't no doubt, it's plain to see A woman like you's no good for me Your heart beating at another door I'm a darned fool for to ask for more (ask for more, ask for more) When you say goodbye
