The reason why, oh I can't say
I had to let you go babe and right away
After what you did, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone

Baby, for a long time you had me believe
That your love was all mine and that's the way it would be
But I didn't know that you were puttin' me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone

Now I got to say that it's not like before
And I'm not gonna play your games any more
After what you did, I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone

Oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
