All that I have is all that you've given me Did you never worry that I'd come to depend on you? I gave you all the love I had in me Now I find you've lied and I can't believe it's true Wrapped in her arms, I see you across the street (I see you across the street) And I can't help but wonder if she knows what's going on (ooh-ooh) Oh, you talk of love, but you don't know how it feels When you realize that you're not the only one Oh, you'd better stop (stop, ooh) before you tear me all apart You'd better stop (stop) before you go and break my heart Ooh, you'd better stop Time after time I've tried to walk away (I've tried to walk away) But it's not that easy when your soul is torn in two (ooh-ooh) So I just resign myself to it every day (oh, every day) Now all I can do is to leave it up to you Oh, you'd better stop (stop, ooh) before you tear me all apart You'd better stop (stop) before you go and break my heart Ooh, you'd better stop If love me (you will remember) Now's the time to be sorry (that day forever) I won't believe that you'd walk out on me, baby Ooh Oh, you'd better stop (stop, ooh) before you tear me all apart You'd better stop (stop) before you go and break my heart Ooh, you'd better stop (you better, you better) Baby, stop (you better, you better) Oh, oh, oh You'd better stop (you better), oh, stop (you better) Baby, stop, baby, stop (You better, you better) You'd better stop, stop, stop, stop (you better, you better) stop (You better, you better) ooh You'd better stop (You better, you better) oh, yeah (you better) (You better) ooh, (you better) ooh, (you better) ooh
