Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's trying to tear us apart
[Verse 2]
Fare thee well, I know you're leaving
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I've got a feeling he's gonna put you down because
[Verse 3]
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's trying to tear us apart
[Verse 4]
Now, he uses all the great quotations
He says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's had so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play, but wait
[Verse 5]
And when the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Uh-huh, I'll be there to take you home
[Verse 6]
He don't love you (And he never will)
Like I love you because
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Whoa, he don't love you, girl
