[Verse 1]
Looking in your eyes
I see a memory
Of how it used to be
Before our world came tumbling down
I try, I did nothing else but try
To keep our love alive
Oh, how I loved you so
And you just made me cry
Did you deceive me?
Did you do me wrong?
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying?
Or do I leave?
[Chorus]
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
[Verse 2]
The tension's running high
As I try to sing to you
About the things you do
Now I'm no longer satisfied
Did you deceive me?
Did you do me wrong?
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying?
Or do I leave?
[Chorus]
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
[Bridge]
Just like my friend said
You were never good for me
So just go about your way
Huh, don't worry about me
And just forget we ever happened
The time has come to say goodbye
Don't ask why
Just let it all go
I'm ready to love someone new
[Chorus]
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do (Yeah, oh, baby)
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew (Yeah, it won't be easy)
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do (Oh, yeah)
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do (Oh, yeah)
Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
They warned me about you
I should have just left you a long time ago
Boy, I've been told
Boy, I've been told
Boy, boy
Boy, I've been told
