First you say that you have to go away

I never should have been with you anyway

And now you say you want to stay

It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you have to go away

I never really loved you anyway

Now you say you want to stay

It's too late, it's too late

Like a puppet on a string

You came and took control of me

Would've given anything

To be your one and only

Filled my head with fantasies

Of what one day you'd give to me

Full of hope for what could be

I sat and waited patiently

First you say that you have to go away

I never should have been with you anyway

And now you say you want to stay

It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you have to go away

I never really loved you anyway

Now you say you want to stay

It's too late, it's too late

For a time you were for me

Everything that I could need

Gave me time and diamond rings

But something else was missing

You never stayed the whole night through

I suffered, prayed, and cried for you

After all that we've been through

I feel I never really knew you

First you say that you have to go away

I never should have been with you anyway

And now you say you want to stay

It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you have to go away

I never really loved you anyway

Now you say you want to stay

It's too late, it's too late

There's no need to call me on the phone

I don't wanna hear from you no more

No need, don't call

Don't be a fool and stand outside my door

'Cause being the woman that I am

I got to go on with other plans

First you say that you have to go away

I never should have been with you anyway

And now you say you want to stay

It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you have to go away

I never really loved you anyway

Now you say you want to stay

It's too late, it's too late

First you say that you have to go away

I never should have been with you anyway

And now you say you want to stay

It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you have to go away

I never really loved you anyway

Now you say you want to stay

It's too late, it's too late

First you say that you have to go away

I never should have been with you anyway

And now you say you want to stay

It's too late, 'cause I'm sending you on your way

You say that you have to go away

I never really loved you anyway

Now you say you want to stay

It's too late, it's too late
