Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, you don't pay no mind
You act like you don't love me no more
Maybe you need space or some time
Your attitude is unpredictable
And I don't want to make you unhappy
If you're not happy then you're free to go on
'Cause I don't want you stayin' around
If I make you so miserable
[Verse 2]
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Go ahead and free yourself
Yeah
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Go ahead to someone else
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Go ahead and free yourself
Yeah
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Oh, go ahead to someone else
[Verse 3]
Time again and again I try, I try
Baby, don't you know that I try, oh yeah
But the love I had inside has died
But the love I had inside has, whoa-oh
[Verse 4]
Won't you be a man if it's over
And just admit that things ain't the same
Instead of making me think it's all good
Between us, which one's to blame?
I took a lot of too much to handle
Until I can't take this game no more
This love thing is full of scandals
So, you're welcome to walk
[Verse 5]
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Oh, go ahead and free yourself
Yeah
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Baby, go ahead to someone else
Yeah, if you don't want me then don't talk to me
Hey, go ahead and free yourself
Yeah
If you don't want me, don't talk to me
Go ahead to someone else
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
Time again and again I try, I try
Time again and again I've tried it
Over and over and over and over
But the love I had inside has died
Oh, baby, it's died, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 7]
I had to take it there, I had to take it there
'Cause I'm tired, oh yeah
[Verse 8]
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Hey, go ahead and free yourself
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Go ahead to someone else
You're playing games
If you don't want me then don't talk to me
Hey, go ahead and free yourself
Baby, if you don't want me don't talk to me
Yeah
Go ahead to someone else
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
