Oh, it's over, it's all over

Said it's over, it's all over, baby

I gotta get away from you as fast as I can

You're too much for me, woman

More than my heart can stand

Like a kid behind the wheel

You've been reckless with my heart

If I stayed around

You'd surely tear it all apart



The road has got to end somewhere

Woman, woman, every road has got to end somewhere

Now is the time for the showdown

So let me give you the lowdown

We've come to the end of our road



Woman, I'm just thinkin' 'bout all the times you promised to call

and I sat at home lonely

You only did it 'cause you knew my love was only

Runnin', runnin' around with every guy in town

I'm tellin' you, woman, no longer will I be your clown



The road has got to end somewhere

Every road has got to end somewhere

I'm tired of your stuff

Say enough is enough

We've come to the end of our road

I can't take it no more



Woman, there's no sense in you beggin' and pleadin'

To hold on when I'm the one you're leavin'

Say I've 'bout had my fill of you (had my fill of you)

Flirtin's all through the years

And I've almost run out of tears

I'm tellin' you, I couldn't cry if I wanted to



The road has got to end somewhere

Every road has got to end somewhere

Time and again I've begged you to slow down

So I'm givin' you the lowdown

We've come to the end of our road, road, road



(repeat and fade):

(Oh, this is the end, the end of our road)
