All that I have is all that you've given me Did you ever worry that I'd come to depend on you I gave you all the love I had in me Now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street And I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on You talk of love but you don't know how it feels When you realise that you're not the only one Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart You'd better stop before you go and break my heart Ooh you'd better stop Time after time I've tried to walk away But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two So I just resign myself to it every day Now all I can do is to leave it up to you Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart You'd better stop before you go and break my heart Ooh you'd better stop Stop if love me (you will remember) Now's the time to be sorry (that day forever) I won't believe that you'd walk out on me Oh you'd better stop before you tear me all apart You'd better stop before you go and break my heart Ooh you'd better stop
