[Verse 1]

Yeah, you really tried

But I was blind to all the lies you told me, boy

All the shit you've done

You can't outrun the way you understand me



[Pre-Chorus 1]

You acted like you bought me at a bargain sale

You don't even care

You focused your frustration on a small detail

Blew it out of scale, like my ponytail



[Chorus 1]

Well, if you don't want to see the girl I want to be

Then why, then why should I listen?

If you don't want to do the things I need from you

Goodbye, goodbye

Cause I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away

And I'm taking it right back



[Verse 2]

I'm no blow up doll, no free-for-all

No slave to your decision, ooh

Gotta find a way to break the spell

To get the hell away from those who block my vision



[Pre-Chorus 2]

You used me as a fragment of your grand design, hey

And you, you don't get to put me on your bottom line

You don't get what's mine, and I'm doing fine



[Chorus 2]

Said you don't want to see the girl I want to be

Then why, then why would I listen?

If you don't want to do the things I need from you

Goodbye, goodbye

Cause I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away

I'm taking it right back, baby



[Chorus 1]

Well, if you don't want to see the girl I want to be

Then why, then why should I listen?

If you don't want to do the things I need from you

Goodbye, goodbye

Cause I gave it away, I gave it away, I gave it away

And I'm taking it right back, hey

Taking it right back, baby

I'm taking it right back, hey
