Ooh, you always coming with that bad news
Ooh, I need an ear, you say you need me
But you see the thing is I don′t need you

Feelin′ so deceived so now I'm leaving
That's what happens when you know that you, oh-yeah
Yeah, uh-uh, yeah, uh-huh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-hoo-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
That′s what happens when you know that you, oh-yeah-ah
