Lately you been acting like 
There is something else on your mind 
And everything I say or do 
Doesn't mean a thing to you, oh no 
Girl I heard you on the phone 
You were talking to your girlfriend, damn 
Told her you were having fun 
You're messing with another man, oh 

[Chorus:]
Girl I know everything 
And even though it hurts me 
I gotta let you do your thing 
Baby the thought of you 
Being caught up in another romance 
Is making me crazy but 
I gotta let you do your thing 

Listen babe 
Now everybody's talking bout 
How you're leaving me for someone else 
I'm just trying to figure out 
The mistake I made for myself 
Girl I guess the way that I 
Show my love for you is not so cool, baby 
And now you found someone else 
And I feel like a fool 
What can I do 

[Chorus]

Girl I know that you 
Oh, you don't really thing 
Really think I'll let you leave me this way 
Oh, no 
All I want is you 
Oh, you give me one more chance 
On more chance girl 
I can't stand to see you with someone else 

[Chorus to Fade]
