Chorus
first you say that you have to go away
I never should of been with you anyway
now you say you wanna stay
it’s too late cause I’m sending you on your way
you say you have to go away
I never loved you anyway
now you say you want to stay
it’s too late, it’s too late

like a puppet on a string
you came and took control of me
would of given anything to be you one and only
fill my head with fantasies of what one day you’d give to me
full of hope of what could be
I say and waited patiently
first you say that you have to go away
I never should of been with you anyway
now you say you wanna stay
it’s too late cause I’m sending you on your way
you say you have to go away
I never loved you anyway
now you say you want to stay
it’s too late, it’s too late

for a time you were for me
everything that I could need
gave me time a diamond rings
but something else was missing
never stayed the hole night through
I suffered, prayed and cried for you
after all that we been through
I feel I never even knew you
first you say that you have to go away
I never should of been with you anyway
now you say you wanna stay
it’s too late cause I’m sending you on your way
you say you have to go away
I never loved you anyway
now you say you want to stay
it’s too late, it’s too late

Bridge
there’s no need to call me on the phone
I don’t wanna hear from you no more
no need, don’t call
don’t be a fool and stand outside my door
cause being the woman that I am
I got to go on with other plans

Break

first you say that you have to go away
I never should of been with you anyway
now you say you wanna stay
it’s too late cause I’m sending you on your way
you say you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
now you say you want to stay
it’s too late, it’s too late
first you say that you have to go away
I never should of been with you anyway
now you say you wanna stay
it’s too late cause I’m sending you on your way
you say you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
now you say you want to stay
it’s too late, it’s too late
first you say that you have to go away
I never should of been with you anyway
now you say you wanna stay
it’s too late cause I’m sending you on your way
you say you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
now you say you want to stay
it’s too late, it’s too late
