Lyrics

You're standin' here at my door
With your tail between your legs
Beggin' me to let you come on in, ha ha
If I do, I'm telling you, this is your last chance
I won't let you do that to me again

I'm layin' down the law, oh, you bet I am
You've got no choice but to agree
There ain't no exceptions
Oh, no, you better believe it
This is how it's gonna be

(Chorus)
I love you but I won't take any more of that abuse
It will break my heart but I'll have to cut you loose
If you ever get the urge again, to walk out that door
No need to sneak out like you did before
If you do, just keep on walkin', keep on walkin' away
'Cause I won't, I won't ever take you back, no
And just so you know, I mean every word I said
I'm gonna help you, I'll help you pack

(Bridge)
Fool me once, shame on you
Fool me twice, shame on me
This ain't no game, two strikes, you're out, oh yeah
This'll be the first and the very last time
In my mind, ain't no single doubt
I'll change my phone number, oh yeah, you bet I will
And I'll change all the locks on my doors
I ain't gonna let you make a fool outta me
Ain't gonna break my heart anymore

(Chorus)
I love you, but I won't take any more of that abuse
It'll break my heart, but I'll have to cut you loose
If you ever get the urge again, to walk out that door
No need to sneak out like you did before
If you do, just keep on walkin', keep on walkin' away
'Cause I won't, I won't ever take you back, no
And just so you know, I mean every word I said
I'm gonna help you, I'll help you pack
I'm gonna help you, I'll help you pack

I LOVE IT!--great song--I would play this on the radio if I was the DJ--great one to do live--ha ha!--what great lyrics!--thanxs--NJ
