First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, ´cause I´m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, it´s too late

Like a puppet on a string
You came and took control of me
Would´ve given anything
To be your one and only
Filled my head with fantasies
Of what one day you´d give to me
Full of hope for what could be
(I sat and waited patiently)

First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, ´cause I´m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, it´s too late

For a time you were for me
Everything that I could need
Gave me time and diamond rings
But something else was missing
You never stayed the whole night through
I suffered, prayed and cried for you
After all that we´ve been through
I feel I never even knew you

First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, ´cause I´m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, it´s too late

There´s no need to call me on the phone
I don´t wanna hear from you no more
No need, don´t call
Don´t be a fool and stand outside my door
´Cause being the woman that I am
I got to go on with other plans

First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, ´cause I´m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, it´s too late

First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, ´cause I´m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, it´s too late

First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, ´cause I´m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
It´s too late, it´s too late
