First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
And now you say you want to stay
It s too late, cause I m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway
And now you say you want to stay
It s too late, it s too late

Like a puppet on a string
You came and took control of me
Would ve given anything
To be your one and only
Filled my head with fantasies
Of what one day you d give to me
Full of hope for what could be
I sat and waited patiently

First you say that you have to go away （Oh）
I never should have been with you anyway （I never should have been with you baby）
And now you say you want to stay （It s too late）
It s too late, cause I m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away （You have to go away）
I never really loved you anyway
And now you say you want to stay
It s too late, it s too late

For a time you were for me
Everything that I could need
Gave me time and diamond rings
But something else was missing
You never stayed the whole night through
I suffered, prayed, and cried for you
After all that we ve been through
I feel I never really knew you

First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway （Oh no）
And now you say you want to stay （It s too late baby）
It s too late, cause I m sending you on your way （Oh yes I am）
You say that you have to go away （You have to go away）
I never really loved you anyway （Oh）
And now you say you want to stay
It s too late, it s too late （It s too late, it s too late）

There s no need to call me on the phone
I don t want to hear from you no more
No need （no need）, don t call （don t call）
Don t be a fool and stand outside my door
Cause being the woman that I am
I got to go on with other plans

（Oh, oh, oh...）
（Ooh, ooh）

First you say that you have to go away （Ya have to go away）
I never should have been with you anyway
And now you say you want to stay
It s too late, cause I m sending you on your way （It s too late, oh yes it is baby）
You say that you have to go away
I never really loved you anyway （I never loved you）
And now you say you want to stay （It s too late, it s too late）
It s too late, it s too late
（It s too late {x 4}, oh）
First you say that you have to go away
I never should have been with you anyway
And now you say you want to stay （You want to stay, but it s too late baby）
It s too late, cause I m sending you on your way
You say that you have to go away （Oh）
I never really loved you anyway （I never loved anyway, I never loved anyway）
And now you say you want to stay （I never loved anyway）
It s too late, it s too late
（I never loved anyway）

First you say that you have to go away （Oh yeah）
I never should have been with you anyway （Oh baby）
And now you say you want to stay （But you have to go away）
It s too late, cause I m sending you on your way （It s too late, cause I m sending you on your way）
You say that you have to go away （Oh）
I never really loved you anyway （I never loved）
And now you say you want to stay
It s too late, it s too late
