Lyrics
(verse 1)
There is no need to set you free
Boy you never belonged to me
You would be always out with someone else
You could find me on the bargain shelf
(verse 2)
There was nothing I would not do for you
I just could not except that we were through
Till a new brand new baby came in to my life
Cut you out with the sharpest knife
(chorus)
And now I?m hearing
You?ve been trying to call me
My mother said
You stopped by on your way home from school
Don?t you remember?
How many times you hurt me
Don?t have the time
I don?t have the time to be your fool
(verse 3)
My new man works five days a week
No excuses when he tries to speak
You seek my attention though you had your chance
Forging checks at the house of romance
There was nothing I would not do for you
You bought me a pair of too small size shoes
I tried to exchange them for another pair
They said they were stolen and arrested me there
(repeat chorus)
