Stringing Me Along

(album: Star - 2003)

[Verse 1]
I BEEN KICKIN MYSELF EVER SINCE
I GAVE MY LOVE TO YOU A HUNDRED PERCENT
AND YOU GAVE NOTHIN IN RETURN
THE ONLY TIME YOU SEEMED CONCERNED
IS WHEN YOU WANTED TO LAY UP
YOU KEPT TELLING ME THAT I WAS THE ONE
AND YOU KEPT SELLIN ME DREAM AFTER DREAM
BUT AFTER SO MANY DREAMS DEFERRED
I SAW YOU FOR WHAT YOU WERE
AND THAT WAS SOMEONE WHO REALLY DIDN'T CARE

[Hook]
HOW CAN SOMETHIN FEEL SO RIGHT REALLY BE SO WRONG
WHY WERE YOUFOR THE RIDE
I JUST CAN'T LET YOU GET BACK INSIDE

[Verse 2]
AND NOW YOU'RE WANTIN TO MAKE IT RIGHT
BLOWIN UP MY PAGER AND PHONE DAY AND NIGHT
LIKE I SHOULD UP AND LET YOU IN
TO MY OPEN ARMS AGAIN
I DON'T THINK SO, NOT A CHANCE
I AM STRONGER NOW THANKS TO YOU
I'VE TURNED A NEGATIVE THING INTO SOMETHING POSITIVE
NOW I KNOW THAT I CAN LIVE
WITHOUT THE LIKES OF YOU AROUND

[Bridge]
AND NOW YOU SWEAR TO GOD
THAT YOU HAVE MADE A CHANGE
BUT WHEN I LOOK AT YOU
I THINK OF ALL THE PAIN
YOU UNECCESSARILY
BROUHT ON ME
NEVER AGAIN, NEVER AGAIN

[HOOK REPEATS TILL FADE]
