Seven whole days and not a word from you.
Seven whole nights and I'm just about through.
I can't take it, won't take it.
Can't take it no more.
I had about enough of you.
I'd rather be on my own.
Yes, on my own.

Darlin', darlin',
You know if you cared anything about love,
You would've been front and center,
Oh, lovin' me and touchin' me.
Honey, honey,
You know if you knew anything about me, 
You would've been much more tender,
Oh, squeezin' me, caressin' me.

You could've had about anything you wanted,
But you messed it up.
Oooh, you had to be tough.
You told your friends you had me wrapped around your finger.
You were talkin' kinda cocky like you had it goin' on.
All the while you knew that things were kinda shaky,
You knew that you were wrong,
Dead wrong to be mistreatin' me.
How can we go on.

Seven whole days and not a word from you.
Not a single word from you.
(Seven whole nights and I'm just about through.)
What's a girl to do.  (I can't take it, won't take it.)
Can't take it no more.
I had about enough of you.
I'd rather be on my own.
Yes, on my own.

Sugar, sugar,
You know if you knew anything about sweet,
You would've kept talkin' to me,
Oh, every day, seven days a week.
Baby, baby,
You should've been givin' me a little more time,
But you were just much too busy,
Oh, abusin' me and usin' me.

I would've done about anything you wanted.
I was there for you.  I was crazy 'bout you.
When I was sittin' thinkin' I was kinda special,
You were runnin' 'round hittin' on every other girl in town.
How could you love me when you knew you played me funny.
You knew that you were wrong,
Dead wrong to be mistreatin' me.
How can we go on.

Seven whole days and not a word from you.
Seven whole days.
(Seven whole nights and I'm just about through.)
What's a girl to do.  Ooooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
(I can't take it, won't take it.  Can't take it no more.)
(I had about enough of you.)
I'd rather be on my own.
Yes, on my own.
Seven whole days.  
Seven whole days (Oh) and not a word from you.
And seven whole nights.  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(Seven whole nights and I'm just about through.)
Tell me what you want, what you want me to do.
(I can't take it, won't take it.  Can't take it no more.)
I-I-I-I can't take it no more.  (I had about enough of you.)
(I'd rather be on my own.) Rather be on my own now.
(Yes, on my own.)

Deep in my heart, you were number one to start.
But then you changed.  You threw my heart away.
Told your friend that you were runnin' things.
Why'd it have to be that way.
You're wrong, dead wrong.
Tell me how, how can we go on.  Oh, oh, oh.

(Seven whole days {Seven whole days} and not a word from you.)
(Seven whole nights) Whoo!  ({Seven whole nights} and I'm just about through.)
If you'd cared anything about me,
(I can't take it, won't take it.  Can't take it no more.)
You would've been here lovin' me seven days, seven days a week.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.  (I'd rather be on my own.)
Yes, on my own.
Seven whole days.
(Seven whole days {Seven whole days} and not a word from you.)
Seven whole nights.
(Seven whole nights {Seven whole nights} and I'm just about through.)
What do you want me...to do.
(I can't take it, won't take it.  Can't take it no more.)
(I had about enough of you.)
I'd rather be on my own.
Yes, on my own.

Seven whole days.
Seven whole nights.
What am I to do.  Ooooooooooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh.
Yeah, eeeeeeeeee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
Yeah, eeeeeeeeee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
Seven whole days. 
Seven whole nights.
