Stringing Me Along

[Verse 1]

I 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

[hook]

how can somethin feel so right really be so wrong

why were you for the ride

i just can't let you get back inside

[verse 2]

and now you're wantin to make it right

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 positive

now i know that i can live

without the likes of you around

[bridge]

and now you swear to god

that you have made a change

but when i look at you

I think of all the pain

you unnecessarily

brought on me

never again, never again
