I can't handle it, it's just taking too long 
Had enough of it, decisions made I'm gone 
See your struggling, your suffering 
But I'm through with it, no more to do with it 

See I don't wanna come across as the insensitve type, no 
But the truth be known I'm lost, all my patience you have tried (yeah) 
I lost all sense of time, you caused this mix up in my mind 
You've tired me out, I'm feeling strung out, yeah 

Baby I'll set the tone 
Made me step out of this on my own 
Acting like nothings wrong 
Needed time out to just be alone 
Understand you don't own this man 
Baby I'll set the tone, yeah 

Not one part of me 
Is feeling neglected 
Come to think of it 
A lot of time wasted 
All that worry, over nothing 
Now I'm free of it, that's why I've ended it 

See I don't wanna come across as the insensitive type, no 
But the truth be known I'm lost, all my patience you have tried (yeah) 
Lost all sense of time, you caused this mix up in my mind 
You've tired me out, I'm feeling strung out, Oh 

Baby I'll set the tone (Set the tone) 
Made me step out of this on my own (oooh) 
Acting like nothings wrong (hey) 
Needed time out to just be alone 
Understand (Understand) you don't own this man (Don't own this man) 
Baby I'll set the tone, yeah 

Don't think I'm wrapped around your finger 
Back then was so naive to see just 
What went on behind my back 
What would've carried on like that 
Did I deserve to be treated like the enemy

Baby I'll set the tone (I'll set it) 
Made me step out of this on my own 
Acting like nothings wrong (hey yea hey) 
Needed time out to just be alone 
Understand you don't own this man (you don't own this man) 
Baby I'll set the tone, yeah (I'll set the tone yeah) 

Baby I'll set the tone (ooh) 
Made me step out of this on my own (yeeah) 
Acting like nothings wrong 
Needed time out to just be alone 
Understand (Gotta take that time out) you don't own this man 
Baby I'll set the tone, yeah (I'll set the tone girl) 

Baby I'll set the tone 
Made me step out of this on my own 
Acting like nothings wrong (yeeh) 
Needed time out to just be alone 
Understand (oooh) you don't own this man (oooh) 
Baby I'll set the tone, yeah
