[Intro]
Ooh!
[Verse 1]
You wear your smile like it was going out of fashion
Dress to inflame but douse any ideas of passion
You carry your love in a trinket hanging 'round your throat
Always inviting, always exciting, but I must not take off my coat
[Chorus]
Well, I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
That it's not you
[Verse 2]
You ask me questions that I never wanted to hear
I am the only one just until you finish this year
I would murder you if I had the alibi here in my hand
But you just laugh 'cause you don't understand
[Chorus]
That I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
[Refrain]
That it's not you
That it's not you
That it's not you
That it's not you
[Outro]
That it's not you
No, it's not you
That it's not you
It's not you
It's not you
