Stringing Me Along

I've been kickin' myself ever since

I gave my love to you a hundred percent

And you gave nothin' in return

The only time you seemed concerned

Is when you wanted to lay up

You kept telling me that I was the one

And you kept sellin' me dream after dream

But after so many dreams deferred

I saw you for what you were

And that was someone who really didn't care

How can something feel so right really be so wrong?

Why were you (Why?) stringing me along for the ride?

I can't let you get back inside (No, no)

And now you're wantin' to make it right?

Blowin' up my pager and phone day and night

Like I should up and let you in

To my open arms again

I don't think so, not a chance

I am stronger now thanks to you

I've turned a negative thing into something

Something positive, now I know that I can live

Without the likes of you around

How can something feel so right really be so wrong?

Why were you (Were you, you) stringing me along for the ride?

(I can't) I can't let you get back inside

How can something feel so right really be so wrong?

Why were you stringing me along for the ride? (Oh, mmm, oh)

I can't let you get back inside (I can't let you)

And now you swear to God that you have made a change (Now you swear, oh)

But when I look at you, I think of all the pain (The pain)

You unnecessarily brought on me (You brought on me)

Never again (Never again), never again (No)

How can something feel so right really be so wrong?

Why were you (Why were) stringing me along for the ride? (Hey, hey, for the ride)

I can't let you get back inside (I can't let you back inside)

How can something feel so right really be so wrong?

(Boy, you been stringing me along)

Why were you stringing me along for the ride? (For the ride, yeah, yeah, and I)

I can't let you get back inside (Can't let you back inside, now go)

How can something feel so right really be so wrong?

Why were you stringing me along for the ride?

I can't let you get back inside

How can something feel so right
