When we first met stole my heart away Your love was incredible Wonderful Then you began to change You used to make me feel special Now all you do is make me cry I gave you my everything baby But all you gave me was lies I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me When we get in a fight I'm always the first to apologize Even if it was you who did wrong I never do enough to please you That's why I can't go on No matter what I do for you It's never any good for you You always got to complain That's why I got to say I can't stay I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me Selfish baby Anything you want I do I never understand how you Could treat me bad and be so cruel You're begging me to come back to you Baby I gave you all my love But what I had was not enough You turned around & broke my trust Got the nerve to ask me What about us? I, I try to be the one for baby, you you never was into nothin' what I do, do That's why I'm leaving 'Cause it's all about you And not about me
