[Verse 1]
Looking in your eyes
I see a memory
Of how it used to be
Before our world came tumbling down
I tried, I did nothing else but try
To keep our love alive
Oh, how I loved you so
And you just made me cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you deceive me?
Did you do me wrong?
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying
Or do I leave?
[Chorus]
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you's the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you's the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
[Verse 2]
The tension's running high
As I try to sing to you
About the things you do
Now I'm no longer satisfied
[Pre-Chorus]
Did you deceive me?
Did you do me wrong?
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying
Or do I leave?
[Chorus]
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you's the thing to do
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you's the thing to do
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
[Interlude]
Just like my friend said
You were never good for me
So just go about your way
Huh, don't worry about me
And just forget we ever happened
[Bridge]
The time has come
To say goodbye
Don't ask why
Just let it all go
I'm ready to love someone new
[Chorus]
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you's the thing to do (Yeah, oh, baby)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew (Yeah, it won't be easy)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you's the thing to do (Oh-oh, yeah-yeah)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do (Oh-oh, yeah-yeah)
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you's the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
[Outro]
Huh, they warned me about you
I should've just left you a long time ago
Boy, I've been told
Boy, I've been told
B-b-b-b-boy, b-b-b-b-boy
Boy, I've been told
