Where You Get Off
Why do you build me up just to tear me down
How am I not enough to make your heart pound
Why am I bothering, struggling to see where you get off
Dragging my feet along, wondering where you've gone
Are you out there in the rain or are you with somebody
Do you think of me when no one else is there
Or am I just gone
You told me you were leaving, I couldn't believe it
Suddenly the truth became so clear
Cause everything I dreamed of wasn't even real love
Was I just a fool to hold you dear
Why did you touch me then, like you wanted me
Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free
I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see
Where you get off
Wandering through the street, thinking how we might meet
How you might change your mind, you know that you still have time
I've been so alone, out here on my own
Can't help missing you
You told me you were leaving, I couldn't believe it
Suddenly the truth became so clear
Cause everything I dreamed of wasn't even real love
Was I just a fool to hold you dear
Why did you touch me then, like you wanted me
Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free
Cause I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see
Where you get off
And why did you build me up, just to tear me down
How am I not enough to make your heart pound
Why am I bothering, struggling to see
Where you get off
And when I close my eyes
I fantasize that we're together
Somewhere deep inside
I still believe it could be true
It isn't all in my head
Cause they're the things that you said
That keep on leading me back to you
If you don't mean them, why'd you promise me they're true
And why did you touch me then like you wanted me
Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free
Cause I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see
Where you get off
And why do you build me up just to tear me down
How am I not enough to make your heart pound
Why am I bothering, struggling to see
Where you get off
Where you get off
How am I not enough to make your heart pound
Why am I bothering, struggling to see where you get off
Dragging my feet along, wondering where you've gone
Are you out there in the rain or are you with somebody
Do you think of me when no one else is there
Or am I just gone
You told me you were leaving, I couldn't believe it
Suddenly the truth became so clear
Cause everything I dreamed of wasn't even real love
Was I just a fool to hold you dear
Why did you touch me then, like you wanted me
Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free
I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see
Where you get off
Wandering through the street, thinking how we might meet
How you might change your mind, you know that you still have time
I've been so alone, out here on my own
Can't help missing you
You told me you were leaving, I couldn't believe it
Suddenly the truth became so clear
Cause everything I dreamed of wasn't even real love
Was I just a fool to hold you dear
Why did you touch me then, like you wanted me
Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free
Cause I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see
Where you get off
And why did you build me up, just to tear me down
How am I not enough to make your heart pound
Why am I bothering, struggling to see
Where you get off
And when I close my eyes
I fantasize that we're together
Somewhere deep inside
I still believe it could be true
It isn't all in my head
Cause they're the things that you said
That keep on leading me back to you
If you don't mean them, why'd you promise me they're true
And why did you touch me then like you wanted me
Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free
Cause I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see
Where you get off
And why do you build me up just to tear me down
How am I not enough to make your heart pound
Why am I bothering, struggling to see
Where you get off
Where you get off
