The way that you touched me made me believe
You never love any other the way that you loved me
When you said forever I thought it was true
We'd be together our whole lives through
Well, I got to hand it to you

[Chorus:]
You really had me going, stringing me along
You really had me going, baby
And now I'm gone.
You put one over on me said I'm the only one
You really had me going, baby
And now I'm gone

You never thought I'd see you in town
Walking and talking and holding the new love you found
You had the laugh when the joke was on me
But you're going cry when you get to see
The way that I love when I leave
You really had me going, stringing me along
You really had me going, baby 
And now I'm gone.
I never saw it coming that you could do me wrong
You really had me going, baby
Oh you proved you're good with a lie
Are you that good with goodbye 
You really had me
You really had me going, stringing me along
You really had me going, baby
And now I'm gone.
And now I'm gone, and now I'm gone
