A song about a breakup from the perspective of someone who can’t move on. Selfishly not allowing their lover to leave, Michelle harmonizes about her painful struggle with abandonment. At very least asking why her lover would leave, slightly mirroring the themes of a later track in the album “IF YOU...
Hey
Never gonna leave me
(No no no no)
Stop playing with me
(No, can't ever let you go)
Stop playing with my feelings
You keep messing with my heart
Why do you treat me so?
It's hard enough to leave you
After all that we have been through
Don't try to make this hard
I never knew that you weren't happy
I never knew that we would fall apart
I never thought that we weren't meant to be
Now I'm right back to where I started from
In my heart you'll find
All of the thoughts that I havе kept for all this time
And in my mind I'm sure you'll nеver know
(I never knew that)
You weren't happy
(I never knew that)
We would fall apart
(I never thought that)
We weren't meant to be
Now I'm right back to where I started from
In my heart you'll find
All of the thoughts I have kept for this time
And in my mind I'm sure you'll never know
Stop playing with my feelings
You keep messing with my heart
Why do you treat me so?
(Why do you treat me so?)
Stop telling me you're leaving
You know your heart I'm keeping
No one ever lets you go
{2x]
In my heart you'll find
All of the thoughts that I have all this time
And in my mind I'm sure you'll never know
Stop playing with my feelings
You keep messing with my heart
Why do you treat me so?
(Why why why?)
Stop telling me you're leaving
You know your heart I'm keeping
No one ever lets you go
(No one ever let you go)
What, you're gonna leave me?
I'll never let you go
(Stop playing)
Stop playing with my feelings
You keep messing with my heart
Why do you treat me so?
(Tell me why, why, why, why, why)
Stop telling me you're leaving
You know your heart I'm keeping
No one ever lets you go
[2x]
(Oh my heart is broken now)
Stop
Stop
(Never gonna let you go baby)
Stop playing with my feelings
You keep messing with my heart
Why do you treat me so?
(Let you walk on away from me)
(How can I?)
Stop telling me you're leaving
You know your heart I'm keeping
No one ever lets you go
(After all we've been through baby, tell me why.)
(Why you wanna tell me that you're gonna leave me) (Don't you tell me you're leavin' me baby)
Stop tellin' me you're leavin' when you're never gonna leave me
[x4]
(I can't live without you baby don't you leave me)
