lyrics
Lyrics:
I'm tired of trying to get you
It's all I've been trying to do
I'm tired of trying to get you
It's all I've been trying to do
Cause lately
My heart has been longing for you
But now I see who you really are
I'm tired of trying to please you
This life's not all about you
I'm tired of trying to please you
I said this life's not all about you
Don't you know
I have things to do instead of love you
Don't you know who I am
Ooh baby, get right out my heart
Ooh baby, you don't mean to start
A fire baby, get right out my heart
A burning fire, right inside my heart
A part of me wants you to go
wants you to stay
It hurts to say, I love you so
(Why oh why)(Why)
I'm tired of thinking 'bout you
You're burning out my brains
(Why you burning out my brains, why you burning out my brains)
I'm tired of thinking 'bout you
You're burning out my brains
Don't you know you're a selfish fool
But I'm more the fool to love you
Ooh baby, get right out my heart (am I a fool to love you?)
Ooh baby, you don't mean to start
A fire baby, get right out my heart
A burning fire, right inside my heart
Ooh baby, get right out my heart
Ooh baby, you don't mean to start
A fire baby, get right out my heart
A burning fire, right inside my heart
Ooh baby, get right out my heart
Ooh baby, you don't mean to start
A fire baby, get right out my heart
A burning fire, right inside my heart
Ooh baby, get right out my heart
Ooh baby, you don't mean to start
A fire baby, get right out my heart
A burning fire, right inside my heart
