Lyrics
VERSE 1:
You'd better drink with your eyes--
Had better drink with your eyes--
For it's the only way
You'd get a ta—ste
VERSE 2:
No need to fret with your mind--
My life's been good, it's just fine
No longer worryin' 'bout
Your two-fac-ed ways--
CHORUS:
We’re done, stop pretending, cause
I am not going there (x 3)
No, no, no
VERSE 3:
When you were in my life
You left me cold, tears in my eyes
Now that I moved on,
My heart's not yours to take
VERSE 4:
Knew there would come a time--
You'd finally realize--
Breaking my heart would be
Yo-ur worst mistake--
CHORUS 2:
We’re done, stop pretending, cause
I am not going there (x 3)
(just) Go, go, go
VERSE 5:
You'd better drink with your eyes--
Had better drink with your eyes--
For it's the only way you'd get a ta--ste (x 3)
