Ooh, yeah

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 donโ€ฒt need you
Tell me why, ooh, you got me here lookin' like a fool
Feelinโ€ฒ 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
Thatโ€ฒs what happens when you know that you, oh-yeah-ah
