Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The reason why, oh, I can't say
I have to let you go, babe, and right away
After what you did, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
[Verse 2]
Baby, for a long time (Baby, for a long time)
You had me believe (You had me believe)
That your love was all mine (That your love was all mine)
And that's the way it would be
But I didn't know (I didn't know)
That you were puttin' me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
[Verse 3]
Oh, I gotta say (I gotta say)
That it's not like before (That it's not like before)
And I'm not gonna play (And I'm not gonna play)
Your games anymore
After what you did (After what you did)
I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
[Verse 4]
Yeah, I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
