Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I first saw you standin' there

I didn't know what to do

It seems like everyone's together

Except me and you

[Verse 2]

So you took my hand and you made a vow

And you held me close as we danced around

That's how our story started out

When our love was new

[Verse 3]

What the hell was I thinkin' of

I shoulda listened to what my friends say

(Hey, hey hey hey)

Was I never enough for you?

How much more did you think

You could put me through? because

[Verse 4]

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't need it

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't want it no more

[Verse 5]

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't need it

So turn yourself around

And walk right now

[Verse 6]

I though we had a good thing goin'

I though it would last

But somewhere along the way you changed

And now there's no goin' back

[Verse 7]

I heard them see you for what you are

Why did I let my feelings get in the way?

(Hey, hey hey hey)

Was I never enough for you?

How much more did you think

You could put me through? because

[Verse 8]

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't need it

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't want it no more

[Verse 9]

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't need it

So turn yourself around

And walk right now

[Verse 10]

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't need it

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't want it no more

[Verse 11]

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't need it

So turn yourself around

And walk right now

[Verse 12]

(Hey, hey hey hey)

[Verse 13]

How much more did you think

You could put me through? because

[Verse 14]

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't need it

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't want it no more

[Verse 15]

If that's the way you wanna play

I don't need it

So turn yourself around

And walk right now

[Verse 16]

Just turn around

And walk right now

I don't need you around

No way, no, I
