Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, you know you took my heart
And you broke it apart
Why did our love, baby, yeah, yeah
Have to ever start?
[Chorus]
You know you took my love, threw it away
You gonna want my love someday
Well-a, bye-bye, baby
[Verse 2]
Well, I thought your love
Was oh so true
And you lured me, baby, yeah
Started loving you
[Chorus]
You know you took my love, threw it away
You gonna want my love someday
Well-a, bye-bye, baby
[Bridge]
Well, your love was
Sweeter than any I know
So don't come back running
A-knockin' on my front door
[Verse 3]
Well, you said that I
Was your only girl
And there was no other, yeah
In this whole wide world
[Chorus]
You know you took my love, threw it away
You gonna want, my love someday
Well-a, bye-bye, baby
[Bridge]
Your love was
Sweeter than any I know
So don't come back running
A-knockin' on my front door
[Verse 4]
Well you said that I
Was your only girl
And there was no other, yeah
In this whole wide world
[Chorus]
You know you took my love, threw it away
You gonna want my love someday
Well-a, bye-bye, baby
[Outro]
Whoa, bye-bye, baby
I don't want you know more
Ooh, bye-bye, baby
Woo, don't need your love, yeah yeah
I don't want you, baby, woo
Bye-bye, baby, yeah
Bye-bye, baby, ohh
