You were lonely and you needed a friend And he was there at the right time with the right smile Just a shoulder to lean on Someone to tell you it'll all work out alright Don't let him steal your heart away No, don't let him steal your heart away Don't let him steal your heart away No, don't let him steal your heart away You can look at him the way you did me And hold him close say you're never letting go But any fool can see you're fooling yourself But you ain't fooling me So don't let him steal your heart away No, don't let him steal your heart away, no And don't pack my suitcase, I'll be back And don't take my pictures off a' the wall Oh, did you hear me? Don't let him change a thing 'cause I'll be back Just tell him to pack his things and get out of your life And just give me one more chance I'll show you I'm right, I'm right 'Cause I've been thinking and I know it was me Leaving you lonely but hoping you could be strong Can you look at me straight Tell me what else can I do but say I was wrong? So don't let him steal your heart away No, don't let him steal your heart away Well he's gonna try to make it work for you Make you think your whole life's been leading to this But whatever you do Think about me and don't be fooled by his kiss And don't let him steal your heart away Please, don't let him steal your heart away And don't pack my suitcase, I'll be back And don't take my pictures off the wall Do you hear me? Don't let him change a thing 'cause I'll be back Just tell him to pack his things and get out of your life And just give me one more chance I'll show you I'm right You know I'm right You were lonely and you needed a friend And he was there at the right time with the right smile Just a shoulder to lean on Someone to say don't you worry it'll all be alright But he's no good for you He'll make you think your whole life's been leading to this And whatever you do Think about me, oh, and don't be fooled by his kiss, no no no no And don't let him steal your heart away, your heart away Don't let him take it, don't let him steal your heart away from me Don't let him steal your heart away from me
