)
I  don't want you to come round here no more,
 I beg you for mercy.
You  don't know how strong my weakness is
 Or how much it hurts  me.
 Cause when you say it over  with him,
 I want to believe  it's true.
 So I let you in, knowing tomorrow
 I'm gonna wake  up missing you,
Wake  up missing you.
When  the one you love's  in love with someone  else,
Don't  you know it's  torture? I mean it's  a living hell.
 No matter how I  try to convince  myself,
 This time I won't  lose control.
 One look in your blue eyes and suddenly  my heart  can't tell you no.
I  don't want you to call me up no more,
 Saying you need  me.
You're  crazy if you think just half your love
 Could ever please  me.
 Still I want to hold  you, touch  you
 When you look  at me that way.
 There's only one solution I know:
 You gotta stay  away from me,
Stay  away from me!
When  the one you love's  in love with someone  else,
Don't  you know it's  torture? I mean it's  a living hell.
 No matter how I  try to convince  myself,
 This time I won't  lose control.
 One look in your sad eyes and suddenly  my heart  can't tell you no.
My  Heart can't tell you no!
