(White/Cop/Nabb/Marshall)
Verse 1
It hurts, to break your heart this way
So don’t stay, ‘Cause words can’t say it, it’s better that you go now
For you’re in a hurry for love, so I think I will drop out (drop out)
Yeah I’m a cop out (cop out)
You keep on saying that you love me but you don’t know me at all
(You don’t love me at all)
Verse 2
So smile (why?), or just laugh and wave goodbye (bye bye, bye bye, bye bye)
Please don’t cry (why?), dry your eyes, it’s better that we end it right here
I have nothing left to give you, so I’ll kiss you (kiss you)
And ‘though I’ll miss you (miss you), I can’t lie because
The truth is we drag each other down
Bridge
You think it’s been good so far
But what do you see when you look at me? (Only what you want to see)
You must understand, I’m not your man
There’s no together forever for us, when you see me, baby it’s over
Chorus
(Oooh ooh) Baby it’s over (baby it’s over)
(Oooh ooh) Yeah! can’t make it plainer (baby it’s over)
I’m a traveling man getting lost in space
Can’t you see it in my eyes, read it on my face?
One day you’ll thank me baby, thank me baby, one day you’ll thank me baby
Verse 3
Time, (time), time they say’s a great healer
So maybe I was a fool, I knew the rules, I should have known better
It’s because I’ve been through this before
So open the door, get on with your life
Don’t you tell me that you love me anymore
Bridge
You think it’s been good so far
But you still only see what you want to see (only what you want to see)
Our days are over, you say that you love me well, set me free, baby it’s over
Chorus
Baby it’s over, baby it’s over
Maybe one day you’ll meet the man of your dreams, not me (baby it’s over)
I’m not alright, I’m not all wrong, for you
I’m something in between, but I’m not him (baby it’s over)
(Oooh ooh) Baby it’s over (baby it’s over)
(Oooh ooh) Yeah! can’t make it plainer (baby it’s over)
Baby it’s over, it’s over
Baby it’s over, it’s over
