I wasn't scared of love, til I met you I did everything that you wanted me to You're love was so demanding You left me out here standing I hid those tears for as long as I could Try to stop me now, I wish you would! You think you have me, baby You must be so damn(ed) crazy My joy, unh(and), my pain Things you don't understand This love in my hand Something I never planned So far away, baby, it's just too late Cause you don't know how to appreciate I wasn't kidding when I said I loved you, baby Wedding bells stop ringing around here lately You gave up on this love, cause you thought, maybe But, you're gonna miss my love always I never thought that pain could be this(that) cruel And to think it all came from you You met me with love's flame Tryin' na tell me I was insane What made you think I'd stay forever? It was always me who kept us together Messed up, ya heard me! Oh yeah! The truth is, you don't deserve me My joy, unh (and), my pain, things you don't understand This love in my hand Something I never planned So far away, baby, it's just too late Cause you don't know how to appreciate I wasn't kidding when I said I loved you, baby Wedding bells stop ringing around here lately You gave up on this love, cause you thought, maybe But, you're gonna miss my love always I hate to announce what's on my mind But, why couldn't love work out this time? You know you can't dim this love that shine's I'm outta here baby, I'm no longer your lady I wasn't kidding when I said I loved you, baby Wedding bells stop ringing around here lately You gave up on this love, cause you thought, maybe But, you're gonna miss my love always
