I've been waiting all day for ya babe So won't you come sit and talk to me And tell me how we're gonna be together always Hope you know that when this late at night I hold on to a pillow tight I think about how you promised me forever I never thought that anyone could make me feel this way Now that you're here boy all I want is just a chance to say Get out (leave) right now It's the end of you and me It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone 'Cause I know about her (who) And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies You said that you would treat me right But you were just a waste of time (waste of time) Tell me why you looking so confused When I'm the one that didn't know the truth How could you ever be so cold? You go behind my back and call my friend Boy you must've fall and bumped your head 'Cause you left your number on her phone So now that after all that you've said and done Maybe I'm the one to blame but To think that you could be the one Well it didn't work out that way Get out (leave) right now It's the end of you and me It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone) 'Cause I know about her (move) And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies (all the lies) You said that you would treat me right (you said that you) But you were just a waste of time (waste of time) I wanted you right here with me But I have no choice you've got to leave Because my heart is breaking with Every word I'm saying, I gave up everything I had On something that just would not last But I refuse to cry No tears will fall from these eyes (oh, oh) Get out Get out (leave) right now It's the end of you and me (you and me) It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone) 'Cause I know about her (move) And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies (how did I) You said that you would treat me right (you said that you) But you were just a waste of time (waste of time) Get out (leave) right now It's the end of you and me (hey yeah) It's too late (now) and I can't wait for you to be gone (you to be gone) 'Cause I know about her (move) And I wonder (why) how I bought all the lies You said that you would treat me right (treat me right) But you were just a waste of time (waste of time) Get out (leave) (you and me) It's too late (too late) (now) About her (now) (why) You said that you would treat me right But you were just a waste of time (oh)
