You got me pullin' my hair 
>From all your fussin' & fightin' 
& you came into my heart 
& you was not invited (ooohhh oh) 
Boy who you think you are 
With no invitation 
I heard about boys like you 
I just didn't know what I was facin' 
What's your occupation 

Why you ruinin' me 
Why you do, why you do 
These things to me 
Who are you, who are you
You're bein' mean to me 
I gotta go 
Gotta leave 
Why you do it to me 
(Why, why, why you do it to me) 

Now I'm too young to be stressed out (stressed out, stressed out) 
But you don't know what I'm feelin' 
Boy I done had it with you (you, you) 
I had it up to the ceilin' (ceilin') 
Had it up, had it up, had it up 
I tried to work it out (out) 
But I can't deal with a heartache 
I know 'bout boys like you 
& you learn from your mistake 
& you was a mistake 

Why you ruinin' me 
Why you do, why you do 
These things to me 
Who are you, who are you
You're bein' mean to me 
I gotta go 
Gotta leave 
Why you do it to me 
(Why, why, why you do it to me) 

You must get out 
Hold up 
Wait a minute 
You could prevent it 
I know what you are all about 
I knew from the beginnin' 
So I guess now you're finished 

You must get out 
Hold up 
Wait a minute 
You could prevent it 
I know what you are all about 
I knew from the beginnin' 
So I guess now you're finished 

Why you ruinin' me 
Why you do, why you do 
These things to me 
Who are you, who are you
You're bein' mean to me 
I gotta go 
Gotta leave 
Why you do it to me 
(Why, why, why you do it to me) 
(Repeat till end)
