Paranoia

I don't wanna lead you on
I don't wanna make me another woman gone
I lost her to the night when we were walking home

I don't really need to
I don't really need to know more than I already do
It, it don't make it easier if both of us lose

Won't be the paranoia
Why won't you say what is going on?
Calling me, California
Reaching for something already lost

So say when you leave you don't want me
'Cause how you gonna make me cry? (How you gonna make me cry? How?)
Say what you mean when you're walking away
So I can get a standing ovation for the freedom

I'll be the one that's on your mind, if you'd have me
And, baby, we could take our time to get nasty
You can be selfish too, it's not just something I do (something)
I know that you feel it too (I do)

So say when you leave you don't want me
'Cause how you gonna make me cry now? (How you gonna make me cry now?)
(Don't you make me cry, how you gonna make me cry? Whoo!)
Say (yeah) what you mean (what you mean) when you're walking away
So I can give a standing ovation for the freedom (standing ovation)

I wanna keep you in the morning, but you fight back
I could've stayed like this forever, but you spite that
Telling me I keep you down and that
Everyone around you says that's bad

Cut the cord when I need to
But no one else makes me feel alive
And I can't hide that
I swear I'm coming right back
