You say you need a fair amount of time
Away from me, you hope that I don’t mind
Oh come on, oh come on
You came to me the other Friday night
And went away in the early morning light
Oh come on, oh come on

You said you had a vision, you burned some bridges too
I came to a decision and also burned a few
You said you killed your lover ‘cause he done treat you bad
I told you so, why don’t you let me treat you right instead

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

You told me once, that I’m the only one
And lonely are the nights since I been gone
Oh come on, oh come on
You gave me wings and cut me from my chains
Now maybe things can never be the same
Oh come on, oh come on

I heard it through the grapevine, I knew it from the start
We could’ve had a great time, you wouldn’t break my heart
I’ve seen the silver lining, the writing on the wall
I’m right up in your hideaway and time will take its toll

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Wrong, it’s wrong that you want me to walk on the water
Wrong, wrong, so wrong
Long, long may you run like you don’t even bother
Long, long, so long
Hang on, hang on, we’ll get along one way or another
Someday, someway, hang on

You said you had a vision, you burned some bridges too
I came to a decision and also burned a few
You said you killed your lover ‘cause he done treat you bad
I told you so, why don’t you let me treat you right instead
I heard it through the grapevine, I knew it from the start
We could’ve had a great time, you wouldn’t break my heart
I’ve seen the silver lining, the writing on the wall
I’m right up in your hideaway and time will take its toll

Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
Oh come on, oh come on, oh come on
