Verse 1

I've been trying to get you to see things all my way
forty days now ooh since you left and I know that you'll probably keep away

I said

Chorus

Oh what a lovely day
Breakin the chains of love

Cause I know that baby your mine.

Cant you see that you're mine
Oh can't you see, can't you see that your mine.

Verse 2

You been ly'in and cheat'in
And Foolin around mess'in around all over town, no way

I said

Chorus

Oh what a lovely day
Breakin the chains of love
I'm hope's that you won't find
A new love
Cause I know that baby your mine

I've been trying to forget you
The pictures they won't fade
Forty days now ooh since you left me

Breakin the chains of love
I'm hope'in that you won't find a new love
Cause, I know that baby your mine

Cause I know that baby you're mine,

Cause I know that baby you're mine..

Verse 1

Felt like the stars fell down before us
In a dream of you and me
then a storm came outta nowhere
Turned my peace to misery.

Chorus

'Cuz i been runnin' now for days
Pickin' up the pieces of love
I'm not so sure it'll go my way
that's just the price of love.
I am oh so tired of loneliness
But the world don't change
and I can't have you, you've gone away
You were the reason, you are the reason I stay.

Verse 2

This fairy tale that you painted for me
You only see what you wanna see
But i'm inclined to tell you somethin'
you never show me how you cared for me.

Chorus

'Cuz i been runnin' now for days
Pickin' up the pieces of love
I'm not so sure it'll go my way
that's just the price of love
I am oh so tired of loneliness
But the world don't change
and I can't have you, you've gone away
You were the reason, you are the reason I stay.

Outro

I stay
The reason i stay

Oh Oh Oh Oh..

Verse 1

Your tear drops fade
and then I saw
your hands in the pocket.
'Cuz you were always made to want it all
but now you got to make it on your own
This ain't your home.
So I'm shown' you the door, wave goodbye
now its time for you to go

Chorus

Don't come back anytime
I've already had your kind
This is you pay back
MoneyGrabber
Don't come back anytime
You've already robbed me blind
This is you pay back
MoneyGrabber

Verse 2

Through rhinestone glass
All I see
You talkin' double
Like the time you said could you buy it for me
'Cuz i'm in trouble
Here's my advice
I don't pay twice for the price of a cheap dime whore!

Chorus

Don't come back anytime
I've already had your kind
This is you pay back
MoneyGrabber
Don't come back anytime
You've already robbed me blind
This is you pay back
MoneyGrabber

Bridge:

One, two, three

One,
Is for the money
Two, is for the greed
Three, time that I told you
That you're the one I just don't need

Chorus

Don't come back anytime
I've already had your kind
This is you pay back
MoneyGrabber
Don't come back anytime
You've already robbed me blind
This is you pay back
MoneyGrabber

Verse 1

To be real
is to understand
When I had you
I was not
completly in tune

Cause I was blind
i let you drift away
I didn't give you
enough to stay
So you made up my mind
and you walked away

And why didn't I,

Chorus

Hold you tighter than tighter
when i could do no wrong
its getting harder and harder
Why didn't I
hold you tighter than thighter
How could i be so wrong

You can't hold on
to what is already gone

Come back baby

Verse 2

Don't be strong
Don't let it go
Cause are you out there
with someone else
are you telling him no.

Cause I could be
Your shelter from the rain
Come inside now
Not gonna give you pain
Cause I made up my mind, I walk away.

And why didn't I,

Chorus

Hold you tighter than tighter
When I could do no wrong
It's getting harder and harder
Why didn't I
Hold you tighter than tighter
How could i be so wrong

You can't hold on
to what is already gone.

Come back baby

Bridge

And Why,
Oh why,
won't you believe in me
Why oh why,
Won't you believe in me

Why didn't I

Chorus

Hold you tighter than tighter
When i could do no wrong
it's getting harder and harder
Why didn't I,
Hold you tighter than thighter
How could i be so wrong

You can't hold on to what is already gone.

Outro

Ooo Ooo Ooo

Come back baby
