It took too long, it took too long, it took too long for you to call back And normally I would just forget that Except for the fact it was my birthday My stupid birthday I played along, I played along, I played along, rolled right off my back But obviously my armor was cracked What kind of a boyfriend would forget that? Who would forget that? The type of guy who doesn't see what he has until she leaves Don't let me go 'Cause without me, you know you're lost, wise up now or pay the cost Soon you will know You're not livin' till you're livin' Livin' with me You're not winnin' till you're winnin' Winnin' me You're not gettin' till you're gettin' Gettin' me You're not livin' till you're livin' Livin' for me This is the potential breakup song Our album needs just one Oh baby, please Please, tell me We got along, we got along, we got along until you did that Now all I want is just my stuff back Do you get that? Let me repeat that I want my stuff back You can send it in a box I don't care, just drop it off I won't be home 'Cause without me, you know you're lost Minus you I'm better off Soon you will know You're not livin' till you're livin' Livin' with me You're not winnin' till you're winnin' Winnin' me You're not gettin' till you're gettin' Gettin' me You're not livin' till you're livin' Livin' for me You can try, you can try You know I know it'd be a lie Without me you're gonna die So you better think clearly, clearly Before you nearly, nearly Mess up the situation that your gonna miss dearly, dearly C'mon You're not livin' till you're livin' Livin' with me You're not winnin' till you're winnin' Winnin' me You're not gettin' till you're gettin' Gettin' me You're not livin' till you're livin' Livin' for me This is the potential breakup song Our album needs just one Oh baby, please Please, tell me This is the potential break-up song Please, just admit you're wrong Which will it be? Which will it be?
