Lyrics
0:43Congratulations baby it's been a while
0:48I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine
0:53I hate to say this baby but I think you should know
0:58I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go
1:04I hear you're runnin' hidin' tryin' to be discreet
1:10But let me to tell you there's no need for you to hide from me
1:15I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously
1:20You've gambled and lost baby pay the cost
1:23For walking out on me
1:25(Chorus)
1:27It coulda been you loving me
1:30It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be
1:35It coulda been you holding me seven days a week
1:41And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me
1:46So here you come talkin' baby with the same ol' lines
1:51You're tryin' to break down my defense
1:53So you can tell me one more lie
1:57But I ain't hearin' you baby
1:59'Cause you caused me pain
2:03This time you've gone too far
2:05And now you lost it all in vain
2:09You say you love me but I find it hard to believe
2:14It didn't take that long for you to get over me
2:19Now after all this time you're trying to get back with me
2:24But now the tables have turned and you're on the outside looking in
2:29(Chorus x 2)
3:13I hear she's got you all stressed out
3:16It cost you a fortune just to take her out
3:18You say that she's takin' you for a ride
3:21I coulda told you so
3:23If I had my choice I would be with you
3:26But you could've done much better too
3:29And that's what you get for thinking that you could find a better love
3:35(Repeat chorus to fade)
