I ain’t playing no games 'Cause I’ve got nothing left to lose I'm so tired of circular motions They leave me dizzy and confused My heart, oh no, is not your revolving door I get stuck spinning and spinning and spinning Oh, 'til I collapse on the floor But every time that you touch me I forget what we’re fighting about Oh, you come and you leave Shame on me for believing every word out of your mouth Tell me it’s over If it’s really over ‘Cause it don’t feel like it’s over whenever you’re closing the door, no So tell me it's over Darling you Oh, you taste so bittersweet Can’t get you off of my lips You’re dangerous when you take me like a thief Oh and I I should let this go I try and I try, I try But why, why won't you leave me alone? Tell me it’s over If it’s really over ‘Cause it don’t feel like it’s over whenever you’re closing the door, no So tell me it's over If it’s really over 'Cause every time you come over it doesn't feel over no more So tell me it's over I keep on leaving the light on Hoping to find something else, oh I've played the fool for the last time I just can't do this myself Tell me it’s over If it’s really over ‘Cause it don’t feel like it’s over whenever you’re closing the door, no Tell me it's over If it’s really over 'Cause every time you come over it doesn't feel over no more So tell me it's over
