Lyrics

If you,

I’m sure I’m not be ing (C)rude, but it’s just your at ti tude.

It’s tear ing me a part, it’s ru in ing ev ’ry thing.

I swore, I swore I would be true and, hon ey, so did you.

So, why were you hold ing her (C)hand?

Is I that the way we stand?

Were you ly ing all the time?

Was it just a game to you?

But I’m in so (D)deep.

You know I’m such a fool for you.

You got me wrapped a round your (C)fin ger, ah, ha, ha.

Do you have to let it lin ger?

Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it lin ger?

Oh, I (A6)thought the world of you.

I thought (C)noth ing could go wrong,

but I was wrong.

If you, I if you could get by and, try ing not to lie,

So, things would n’t be so con (C)fused and I would n’t feel so used.

But you al ways real ly knew I just wan na be with you.

But I’m in so (D)deep.

You know I’m such a fool for you.

You got me wrapped a round your (C)fin ger, ah, ha, ha.
