Leave Me Alone
M.A.N.X. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stop calling me at home
Where did you get my number anyway?

Don't write me e-mails
Don't knock on my door
Don't you remember you didn't love me no more?

[Chorus]
Now it's over
It's nothing called you and me
It's over, why can't you see?
What I'm trying to say is get out of my way
Yeah, it's over
It's nothing called you and me
It's over, oh why can't you see?
What I'm trying to say is get out of my way!

I'm not your girl
Not even your friend
What makes you think I'm gonna try again?

Don't buy me roses
Don't even try
And remember big boys they don't cry

[Chorus]

I'm tired of hearing my friends say that
you still care
That you want to come back into my life
Well, I just want you out of there

[Chorus]





What I'm trying to say is
get out of my way
