She says it's not you, it's me 
I need a little time, a little space 
A place to find myself again you know 

Oh yeah, I know a goodbye when I hear it 
she smiles 
But her heart's already out there 
Walking down the street 

She says 
I don't want nobody else, I love you 
She's lying 
There won't be somebody else and that's true 
She's lying 
Say you'll always be my friend sweet darling 

Why does she pretend 

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see 
A woman like you's no good for me 
Your heart's beating at another door 
I'm a done fool for to ask for more 

She says 
It's like in a song, remember 
If you love someone, set them free 
Well, that's how it is with me 
And then she kisses me 
And somewhere I hear a door slam 
So I say fine 
And just hope that I'm a better liar than she is 

She says 
I don't want nobody else, I love you 
She's lying 
There won't be somebody else and that's true 
She's lying 
Say you'll always be my friend sweet darling 

Why does she pretend 

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see 
A woman like you's no good for me 
Your heart's beating at another door 
I'm a done fool for to ask for more 

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see 
A woman like you's no good for me 
Your heart's beating at another door 
I'm a done fool for to ask for more 
That's what I am 

I don't want nobody else, I love you 
She's lying 
There won't be somebody else and that's true 
She's lying 
Say you'll always be my friend sweet darling 

Why does she pretend 

Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see (I'm a fool) 
A woman like you's no good for me (No matter how I try) 
Your heart's beating at another door 
I'm a done fool for to ask for more (That's what I am) 
Ain't no doubt, it' plain to see (Fool that I am) 
A woman like you's no good for me 
Your heart's beating at another door 
I'm a done fool for to ask for more
