Lyrics
Here, when all my work is done
She calls, and she says, "Dear, can I come?"
I say to her, that you know our love has gone yeah
But aggressive heart, you're really not the one
She comes to the door, crying at my feet
Guilt shines in her eyes as she slowly sinks in deep
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're saying
Walk right now, I ain't playing
Love elsewhere, for you, I'm praying
Don't look back, you ain't staying
Here, I'm crying, I can't sleep
I sigh, 'cause I thought this would never be
I say ooh (ooh) I'm screaming out for someone
And now she's knocking on the door for me
She just won't leave me alone
She wants to speak with me (speak with me)
Persuade me in her arms
And now she's calling on the phone for me
Oh, just won't leave me alone
Deep down inside, she's trying to be clever
To love once more, then leave me forever
I close the door and I say never
I don't care, what you're saying
Walk right now, I ain't playing
Love elsewhere, for you, I'm praying
Don't look back, you ain't staying
I don't care, what you're saying
Walk right now, why do you do it to me?
Love elsewhere, why do you do it to me?
Don't look back
I try so hard to cope with you
I can't bear with the things you put me through
To love as friends, no wish that we could see
But persuasive heart, you just won't let pure friendship be
You know our love couldn't last forever
Persuade your way, but you ain't clever
I close the door and I say, "Never"
I don't care, what you're saying
Walk right now, I ain't playing
Love elsewhere, for you, I'm praying
Don't look back, you ain't staying
I don't care, what you're saying
Walk right now, I ain't playing
Love elsewhere, for you, I'm praying
Don't look back, why do you do it to me?
I don't care, oh I could do it to me
Walk right now, why do you do it to me?
Love elsewhere, why do you do it to me?
Don't look back
Yeah, oh baby
I don't care
Walk right now
Love elsewhere
Don't look back
I don't care
Walk right now
Love elsewhere
Don't look back
