Lyrics

Cold-hearted girl
Don't hurt me like this anymore
I'm waiting right outside your door
Saying "Baby, can we talk?"

Stupid boy
You keep on begging but I won't let you in
You keep on crying but you know what you did
I'll never let you back in

And you say:
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Don't come back here anymore
Go away

I was wrong
I hurt your feelings when I did what I did
I learned my lesson, I'll stop acting like a kid
Can you give me one more chance?

And so I ask
"What did she have that I don't have?"
You said you'd stay but then you went away
That's why I'm telling you to go away

And you say:
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Don't come back here anymore
Go away

But my life is incomplete without you
And you miss the little things that I do
You too
Won't you take me back?
That was your last chance

Go away, go away, go away, go away
Go away, go away, go away, go away
Don't come back here anymore
Go away
Go away and don't come back
