Baby, now that you've made up your mind
I'm gonna let you go, if that's what it takes to show love is blind

I gave you the best love you ever had, but it wasn't enough
So if you think you're so smart, go and play with your heart
When you walk out the door, you'll realize what you never did before

Yeah, we chose our sides ooh and I've been misunderstood
But everytime I try to open your eyes, I'm damned and I'm no good
[Rhythm Fig. 7]
Day after day, you're further away, I can't take anymore
So it's time that you go, but I want you to know, I won't stand in your way
Deep in my heart I know, girl you're runnin' away
