You keep coming around knocking at the door
But now I just won't answer
I've heard it all before
All you did was keep me within your web of lies
But I've got a message for you, boy
You'll find it a big surprise.

I won't lie
Here's my reply
Don't waste my time
Nice try, goodbye
Don't waste my time
I won't lie
This is my reply
Don't waste my time
Nice try, goodbye
Don't waste my time.

Next time you gonna play your games
There's something you ought to know.
I've been around for a while, boy
And I can see
See it through your door.

I'm not impressed by your high and mighty ways
All you got coming are dark and lonely days
There was a time I was willing to be your wife
But that's all changed now
I'm starting a brand-new life.

I won't lie
Here's my reply
Don't waste my time
Nice try, goodbye
Don't waste my time
I won't lie
This is my reply
Don't waste my time
Nice try, goodbye
Don't waste my time.

(Instrumental break)
