Baby tell me what you're trying to prove 

Playing games with my heart 

Hey now listen, I ain't gonna take one more night 

You're the one who broke the rules 

And I'm the one who played the fool 

Now you're trying to tell me it's alright 

You should know better than to hurt a friend 

You'll never get another chance again 

 You'll be back where you started 

I know you won't admit it but you're broken-hearted 

Back where you started 

You think it's gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder 

 You had a way with words 

One look and I was under your spell 

I didn't know should I stay or should I run 

You can't deny you told me lies 

Love'em and leave'em baby, that's your style 

I'm not affraid to take life as it comes 

You play with fire I guess you'll never learn 

You mess with me babe, you 're gonna get burned 

 You'll be back where you started 

I know how it feels when you've been discarded 

Back where you started 

You think you got it made but it won't get you far, no it won't get you far 

 Who's gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime 

I'll tell you one thing, you've really done it this time 

You took your one chance and let it slip away
