Song Lyrics

When I first saw you standing there,
I didn't know what to do.
It seems like everyone's together,
Except me and you.
So you took my hand and you made a vow,
And you held me close as we danced around.
That's how our story started out,
When our love was new.
What the hell was I thinkin' of,
I should've listened to what my friends say.

Was I never enough for you?
How much more did you think you could put me through?
Because

If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more.
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
So turn yourself around, oh right now.

I thought we had a good thing going,
I though it would last.
But somewhere along the way you changed,
And now there's no growing it back.
I couldn't see you for what you are,
Why did I let my feelings get in the way?

Was I never enough for you?
How much more did you think you could put me through?
Because

If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more.
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
So turn yourself around, oh right now.

If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more.
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
So turn yourself around, oh oh right now.

How much more did you think you could put me through?
Because

If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't want it no more.
If that's the way you wanna play, I don't need it.
So turn yourself around, oh right now.
Just turn around and walk right now.
I don't need you around no way, no how.
