Why you wanna make me cry
Aren't you tired of disappointing me
Don't you know that I deserve better
Than you ever gave to me
You know it's just the way
I give, you take, baby

Every time I'm up then you come around
And you try to bring me down, my soul
Keeps on telling me that I've gotta let you go
My soul, and with all your lies
Boy, you've tainted everything
My soul, I've gotta let you go, 'cause I know
You're poisoning my soul

Remember when you gave me strength
Baby, now you only make me weak
I pray somehow that I can break
The spell you put on me

I can't live with you, I can't live without your love
You keep telling me and when you come around I just break on down
'Cause I know you no good, I can't live without your love
