Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I've been talkin' to
Some friends of mine about you, boy
They say you're 'bout to have a child
When you gonna tell me 'bout
This other chick you're sleepin' with?
Now you gotta deal with it
Hope you found happiness
I've found myself in such a mess
[Verse 3]
With you
And I put way too much love into you
Thought that one day we'll be true
And time after time I stuck with you
But now I'm too through
[Verse 4]
('Cause I)
'Cause I've been a fool
Sittin' 'round too long
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring the bell and carry on
Forgave you before (Yes, I did)
But it's too far gone
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring the bell and move along
[Verse 5]
You said it was a mistake
On the night you saw her late
Must have been for pure affection
Boy, you didn't have protection
You had to think of me
But you did never see
Yourself in this predicament
You never thought that it would catch up
[Verse 6]
With you
I put way too much love into you
I thought that one day we'll be true
And time after time I stuck with you
But now I'm too through
[Verse 7]
'Cause I've been the fool (Yeah, yeah)
Sittin' round too long (Sittin' round too long)
I think it's 'bout time that I (Yeah)
Ring the bell and carry on (On)
Forgave you before (Before)
But it's too far gone
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring the bell and move along
[Verse 8]
('Cause I, baby)
'Cause I've been the fool (Baby)
Sittin' round too long (Baby, baby, baby)
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring the bell and carry on (Ooh)
Forgave you before (I forgave you, baby)
But it's too far gone
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring the bell and move along (Yeah)
[Verse 9]
How awful the way you treated me
Gave you everything (I gave you everything, no)
So hurt to say (I'm so hurt)
You didn't tell me (You didn't tell me)
Can't wait to leave (Baby, yeah)
[Verse 10]
'Cause I've been the fool (I don't really want to know, baby)
Sittin' round too long (You didn't ever really care for me)
I think it's 'bout time (I don't really want to know, baby)
Ring the bell and carry on (You didn't ever really care for me)
Forgave you before
But it's too far gone
I think it's 'bout time that I
Ring the bell and move along
[Verse 11]
(Because I've been your fool)
