“You held my hand and walked me home, I know When you gave me that kiss it was something like this it...made me go, oh oh You wiped my tears, got rid of all my fears Why did you have to go? Guess it wasn't enough to take up some of my love 'Cause you're so hard to trust Did I not tell you that I'm not like that? You're the one who gives it all away, yeah Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time? Did you think that I was something I was gonna do and cry? Don't try to tell me what to do Don't try to tell me what to say Your better off that way Don't think that your charming the fact that your arm Is now around my neck I got you in my pants I'll have to kick your ass And make you never forget I'm gonna ask you to stop, thought I liked you a lot But I'm really upset Get out of my head, get off of my bed Yeah, that's what I said Did I not tell you that I'm not like that 'Cause you're the one who throws it all away Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time? Did you think that I was something I was gonna do and cry? Don't try to tell me what to do Don't try to tell me what to say Your better off that way, yeah This guilt trip that you put me on won't Mess me up but you're no wrong Any thoughts of you and me have gone away Did you think that I was gonna give it up to you, this time? Did you think that I was something I was gonna do and cry? Don't try to tell me what to do Don't try to tell me what to say Your better off that way, yeah Better off that way I'm better off alone anyway”
