Lyrics[]
Baby, you wanted me so bad
Why didn’t you tell me sooner?
Now I’m getting out of my head
Cant you see I’m hurting?
Baby, when you finally came around
My friends all said don’t bother
You were the new boy in town
I said that didn’t matter
I gotta get out of here
Gotta see the light of day
Gotta get out of here
I just can’t stand the way you treat me
Why, why did you let me go?
Said we look good together
Maybe I gave too much to you
Did you think about someone else?
Now, who are you seeing now?
Is it my best friend Susie?
Well, there's rumors goin' around
You know, they just can’t beat Susie
You don’t know what you’re saying
Don’t use me!
You don’t wanna play hard to get
Don’t know what you’re saying
See how quickly we forget
[Guitar Solo]
I, I don’t need you anyway
I’ll get along fine without you
Oh there’s plenty to catch in the sea
And I’ll be alright like I used to
Don’t know what you’re saying
You wanna play hard to get
You don’t know what you’re saying
See how quickly we forget
I, I don’t need you anyway
I’ll get along fine without you
Oh there’s plenty to catch in the sea
And I’ll be alright like I used to
You don’t know what you’re saying
You wanna play hard to get
You don’t know what you’re saying
See how quickly we’ll forget x2
I'll get along fine, I'll get along fine
Oh, baby
