[Chorus]
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
ItÂ’s too late, cause IÂ’m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really love you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
ItÂ’s too late, itÂ’s too late

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

[Chorus]
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
ItÂ’s too late, cause IÂ’m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really love you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
ItÂ’s too late, itÂ’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 weÂ’ve been through
I feel I never even knew you

[Chorus]
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
ItÂ’s too late, cause IÂ’m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really love you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
ItÂ’s too late, itÂ’s too late

ThereÂ’s no need to call me on the phone
I donÂ’t want to hear from you no more
No need, donÂ’t call
DonÂ’t be a fool and stand outside my door
Cause being the woman that I am
I got to go on with other plans

[Chorus]
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
ItÂ’s too late, cause IÂ’m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really love you anyway
Now you say you want to stay
ItÂ’s too late, itÂ’s too late
