Boy when you're with me I'm on fire

When you're gone I can't help thinking something's wrong

Cause in all but spirit I'm alive

But you kill me from a distance when you're gone

Soon as I'm outta vision, I'm outta mind

Prove you're the kind of lover who reads me sign

Soon as I'm gone, I'm out of your head

You can call from someone else's bed,

Just break anybody's heart instead of mine

(chorus)

First you say you care

Sure baby yeah yeah

But the bullshit that you wear

This ain't a fair affair

When you're here with me it's a sweet reality

But baby when you're gone

I know you do me wrong

Boy I can't help but wonder why,

You say that if we weren't together you would die

Well, you started digging your own grave

The day I turned around and saw you look away

Soon as your outta vision you spend your time

Running around pretending you're a single guy

Running outta lies each day

You find it harder and harder to explain,

Stop playing with my heart, it's getting tired

(chorus)

First you say you care

Sure baby yeah yeah

But the bullshit that you wear

This ain't a fair affair

When you're here with me it's a sweet reality

But baby when you're gone

I know you do me wrong

Do me wrong, when I'm gone

Do me wrong, when I'm gone

A E I Owe you nothing baby,

Long time gone since I've been your lady

All the time that you've been away

You never had nothing good to say

I can't see why you think I'm waiting

Life goes on while you're hesitating

Not even a reason why, I'll pack my bags and I'll say goodbye

A E I Owe you nothing baby,

Long time gone since I've been your lady

All the time that you've been away

You never had nothing good to say

I can't see why you think I'm waiting

life goes on while you're hesitating

Not even a reason why, I'll pack my bags and I'll say goodbye

(chorus)

First you say you care

Sure baby yeah yeah

But the bullshit that you wear

This ain't a fair affair

When you're here with me it's a sweet reality

But baby when you're gone

I know you do me wrong
