you can only follow if you´re ready to go
no i´m not gonna wait up if you´re movin too slow
i´ve used a lot of patience and i´ve wasted my time
now no one´s gonna stop me from the ride of my life
if you´re gonna tell me bout a fairy tale end
you better keep your word if you consider us friends
i´ve felt an empty promise but at least now i know
that i´m not gonna live with any false hope

ooh baby if you´re gonna leave me
searchin for an answer gimme heads up
ooh baby if you´re gonna ditch me
make it happen quickly my time´s used up
ooh baby tell me if it´s over
i don´t wanna hope if nothin´s in store
ooh baby time is of the essence
kiss goodbye my presence
you´re done messin with me

i never wanna tell myself it´s over and done
but every time i talk to you´s another rerun
you say you´re busy but i bet you´re sleepin in late
you´re sayin that you want me but you´re stayin away
so now i´m gonna go and be okay without you
the waitin and the pacin has to finally be through
i wish it woulda worked i wish you woulda been there
instead of only actin like you don´t care

ooh baby if you´re gonna leave me
searchin for an answer gimme heads up
ooh baby if you´re gonna ditch me
make it happen quickly my time´s used up
ooh baby tell me if it´s over
i don´t wanna hope if nothin´s in store
ooh baby time is of the essence
kiss goodbye my presence
you´re done messin with me

if you think you´re gonna lead me on anymore anymore you
better think twice i´m gonna shut the door
cause i´m done now with bein nice
you lost my faith i´m gonna start again start again all over
you´re gone so gone i´m leavin you behind

ooh baby if you´re gonna leave me
searchin for an answer gimme heads up
ooh baby if you´re gonna ditch me
make it happen quickly my time´s used up
ooh baby tell me if it´s over
i don´t wanna hope if nothin´s in store
ooh baby time is of the essence
kiss goodbye my presence
you´re done messin with me
