Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He don't care
Where he's been playin'
He doesn't hear
A word she's saying
She's a fancy girl
So why she's staying
Hanging on for Mr Wrong
[Verse 2]
He doesn't show her that he needs her
She doesn't know his love'a a liar
She's a fancy girl
Got to be strong
Say so long, Mr Wrong
[Verse 3]
Get out on your own, girl
Show him how
You can be strong, girl
You don't need him now
Run away
Pretty girl
Say so long, Mr Wrong
[Verse 4]
Run away
Bye, bye
