Don't Take Me Back
Don't you look at me that way
'Cause it's true what they say
I would only be the one
The one that's gonna stray
I'll take you to the cleaners
I'll empty out your soul
So baby, when I go
Don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
Now this is where it ends
The pain and the fights and the crying
And it should fill me with shame
I'm the only one to blame
But I'm a great believer
Regrets will make us old
So baby, when I go
Don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad, ooh
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
Don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
I've figured out what this is
I've trampled on your wishes
You dreams, they never mattered
I never cared at all, I won't be there when you need me
I'm selfish and I'm greedy
I'll only let you down
Don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad, ooh
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
So don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
'Cause it's true what they say
I would only be the one
The one that's gonna stray
I'll take you to the cleaners
I'll empty out your soul
So baby, when I go
Don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
Now this is where it ends
The pain and the fights and the crying
And it should fill me with shame
I'm the only one to blame
But I'm a great believer
Regrets will make us old
So baby, when I go
Don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad, ooh
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
Don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
I've figured out what this is
I've trampled on your wishes
You dreams, they never mattered
I never cared at all, I won't be there when you need me
I'm selfish and I'm greedy
I'll only let you down
Don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad, ooh
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
So don't take me back
I'll ruin everything
And keep you sad
'Cause if you do
You'll be no good for me
I'm no good for you
