Why you wanna make me cry Aren't you tired of disappointing me Don't you know that I deserve better Than you ever gave to me You know it's just the way I give, you take, baby. Chorus: Every time I'm up then you come around And you try to bring me down, my soul Keeps on telling me that I've gotta let you go My soul, and with all your lies Boy, you've tainted everything My soul, I've gotta let you go, 'cause I know You're poisoning my soul And everything you promised me, I know could never be.
