UP AND GONE
You say you will, then you won't
Swear to try but then you don't
You're just - tryin it on
You said you could but then you couldn't
Swore you would but then you wouldn't
You're just - tryin it on
Don't fool around, don't wind me up
Sure I want you, my buttercup
But if you keep me hangin on
Movin along, I'll be up and gone
Bridge
I know a girl can change her mind
But honey you might be leavin
Your future - behind
You said we can, and then we can't
Said it is and then it ain't
You're just - tryin it on
You say, "you bet but oh, not yet"
Then you just seem to forget
You're just - tryin it on
Don't fool around, don't wind me up
Sure I want you, my buttercup
But if you keep me
hangin on
Movin along, I'll be up and gone (repeat chorus)
