Oh it's not true (it's not true)
That you're breakin' my heart (breakin' my heart)
Cuz I haven't been blue (haven't been blue)
Since our love fell a-part (our love fell apart)
So I'm tellin' you-oo-oo, that since I've been free-ee-ee
I've been as happy as (as a bird in a) tree
But now I'm longin' (now I'm longin')
To see if it's true (to see if it's true)
The only person you'll hurt (you'll hurt)
It's only you (it's only you)
Late at home each niiight, when you promise to call
But you know that I won't (its against my) rules
But if you really want me back again
I sit right down and I think I've been wrong
It doesn't take much to lower your pride
And you'll never be a-lone
So remember these words (remember these words)
That I sayyy (that I sayyy)
Now you turn me over (turn me over)
Send me the pain (send me the pain)
Make each day-ay-ay, that I'm blue-oo-oo
That you think I'm crawlin' back
(Baby it's not) true
(Baby it's not) true
(Well baby it's not) true
