lyrics

You were the girl I could never deny
You had a story I wanted to buy
I wanted you now and forever, you were so charming and clever
That I couldn’t see it was only a lie

How am I gonna cry now, without you to hurt me?
How am I gonna be let down?
How am I gonna sing, when I sang everything about how you kicked me around?

I started to think maybe you were the one
But you were just having a little fun
I was a fool to believe you, to think that I told you I need you
When I should have turned around and run

How am I gonna cry now, without you to hurt me?
How am I gonna be let down?
How am I gonna sing, when I sang everything about how you kicked me around and around and around?

Maybe I’m hooked on feeling bad
(I gave you the world and you asked me for more)
Maybe I miss something I never had
(I showed you my heart and you showed me the door)
Of all of the women I’ve been with, and there were a few to begin with
You were the best one at making me sad

So I ask you, how am I gonna cry now?
How am I gonna be let down?
How am I gonna sing, when I sang everything about how you kicked me around and around and around and around and around?
