I shouldn't have to tell my baby when to behave
She treats me so bad but I know that she won't change
It's breaking my heart to have to push her away

She'll give you her love but then she'll take it away

So what's your excuse?
Now that your love is gone you wanna choose
I'd never seen the same things that I knew
It hurts me so bad but I just can't make it through

So what's your excuse?
Now that your love is gone you wanna choose
I'd never seen the same things that I knew
It hurts me so bad but I just can't make it through

And I wanna know
Is she the only thing I have left to hold?
She's breaking my heart
But I'm convinced that she's best on her own

I'll open my eyes to the skies
But she's the only one on my mind
I wanna be kind but both my hands are tied

I shouldn't have to tell my baby when to behave
She treats me so bad but I know that she won't change
It's breaking my heart to have to push her away
She'll give you her love but then she'll take it away

So what's your excuse?
Now that your love is gone you wanna choose
I'd never seen the same things that I knew
It hurts me so bad but I just can't make it through

And I wanna know
Is she the only thing I have left to hold?
She's breaking my heart
But I'm convinced that she's best on her own

I'll open my eyes to the skies
But she's the only one on my mind
I wanna be kind I wanna say goodbye
