Why you wanna make me cry

Aren't you tired of disappointing me

Don't you know that I deserve better

Than you ever gave to me

You know it's just the way

I give, you take, baby



Every time I'm up then you come around

And you try to bring me down, my soul

Keeps on telling me that I've gotta let you go

My soul, and with all your lies

Boy, you've tainted everything

My soul, I've gotta let you go, 'cause I know

You're poisoning my soul



Remember when you gave me strength

Baby, now you only make me weak

I pray somehow that I can break

The spell you put on me



I can't live with you, I can't live without your love

You keep telling me and when you come around I just break on down

'Cause I know you no good, I can't live without your love
