Get out my life, why don't you babe?
You really don't want me, you just keep me hanging on
You really don't need me, you just keep me hanging on

Why don't you get out of my life
When seeing you just breaks my heart again

Talkin' 'bout love
Get out my life, why don't now?
You really don't want me, you just keep me hanging on
Get out my life, why don't you babe?
Get out my life, why don't you babe?
