I'M NOT BEGGING YOU STAY
Like I told you before
I don't want you to be knocking at my door
I told you a thousand times before
I don't want you to be hanging around here anymore.
You stare into my eyes
Feeling me with your cheap alibis
You will tell me anything just to get your way
Please ... just go away.
You tell me that you love me
Go look for another
You say that you need me
Why should I bother
You will tell me anything just to get your way
Can't you see that I'm not begging you to stay?
