Lyrics

	You're jealous.
	You just can't stand to see me get along without you
	Like I do; you told me to.
	Now you're jealous.
	You don't know how hard it was to be alone without you,
	And wanting you, like I do.
	I would have stayed if you'd wanted,
	I would have been willing.
	But you said I treat you so badly,
	I can't be forgiven.
	You know I would have done anything
	To make it through with you.
	But I don't deserve to be lonely,
	Just cuz you say I do.
	You're jealous.
	You don't know how hard it is to be a woman in love with you,
	When you're so cruel, and so jealous.
	You don't think about anybody's feelings but your own.
	Are you coming home?
	I would have stayed if you'd wanted,
	Would have been willing.
	But you said I treat you so badly,
	Can't be forgiven.
	You know I would have done anything to make it through with you,
	But I don't deserve to be lonely, just cuz you say I do.

	So if you're gonna go, you've gotta go, and if you're staying, stay.
	Cuz I can't take the pain you keep leaving when you go away.
	If you're gonna go, you've gotta go, and if you're staying, stay.
	Cuz I can't take the pain you keep leaving when you go away.

	I don't deserve to be so lonely.
	I don't deserve to cry.
	I don't deserve to be so lonely.
