Song Lyrics

Oh, you hold in hand a diamond
And left holds it tight
And you hold in your hand our love
You let it fall from the right
I fell for the love and it cost me
Another painful night
This time I'm afraid you lost me
And without a fight

Girl it's so strange, now my life's rearranged
How you want to say goodbye again- oh
Girl it's so strange, how your feelings can change
Are they real or they only pretend?

Oh girl I don't need you, I never want to see you
Do you understand?
Oh girl I don't need you, I never want to see you
Do you understand?
Oh girl I don't need you, I never want to see you
Do you understand?

And now that you have my heart
You walk away
One thing we never learned is
How to make love stay
Love is a lethal weapon
If you use it wrong
You carry with you my affection
But it's true we don't belong

Girl it's so strange, now my life's rearranged
How you want to say goodbye again- oh
Girl it's so strange, how your feelings can change
Are they real or they only pretend?

Oh girl I don't need you, I never want to see you
Do you understand?
Oh girl I don't need you, I never want to see you
Do you understand?
Oh girl I don't need you, I never want to see you
Do you understand?

Oh girl I don't need you, I never want to see you
Do you understand?
Oh girl I don't need you, I never want to see you
Do you understand?

You hold in your hand a diamond
And left held it tight
Oh, you held in your hand our love
It fell from the right
In closing I remind you
Don't be callous with a heart
Love is just one step behind you,
You'll wait for it if you're smart
