The reason why, oh I can say
I have to let you go babe and ride away
After what you do, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone

Baby for a long time, you had me believe
Well that your love was all mine and that's the way it would be
But I didn't know, that you were putting me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone, oh when you're gone

Now I've got to say, that it's not like before
And I'm not gonna play, your games any more
After what you did, I, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better
When you're gone, oh when you're gone
Oh when you're gone, oh when you're gone
