Baby tell me what you`re trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen, I ain`t gonna take one more night
You`re the one who broke the rules
And I`m the one who played the fool
Now you`re trying to tell me it`s alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
You`ll never get another chance again

You`ll be back where you started
I know you won`t admit it but you`re broken-hearted
Back where you started
You think it`s gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder

You had a way with words
One look and I was under your spell
I didn`t know should I stay or should I run
You can`t deny you told me lies
Love`em and leave`em baby, that`s your style
I`m not affraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire I guess you`ll never learn
You mess with me babe, you `re gonna get burned

You`ll be back where you started
I know how it feels when you`ve been discarded
Back where you started
You think you got it made but it won`t get you far, no it won`t get you far

Who`s gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime
I`ll tell you one thing, you`ve really done it this time
You took your one chance and let it slip away
