[Verse 1]
And I'm thinkin', "Here she comes, another, mm-hm, so divine"
Ain't seen nothin' like it and she must be mine
All I want to do when I get her, well, do I need to say
From the darkest hour 'til the break of day
I got that feelin' I never had before
Keeps me on my toes, makes me ask for more
So I'm having trouble tryin' to understand
Why you can't be my woman and I can't be your man
[Chorus]
Guess it's over, baby (Whooh)
Nothin' left to say
Except to leave me hopin' (Leave me hopin')
That you'll feel okay
This was never part of the masterplan (This was never part, uh-uh)
You'll never be my woman (And you will never be)
I'll never be your man (Uh, mm)
[Verse 3]
You were beautiful, baby, so was I
We commanded attention from every single passer-by
I don't need remindin' of the way I feel
But everything we did together, it all seems so unreal
There's somethin' creepin', pushes us apart
And when we fuss and fight, you know it breaks my heart
So I'll try not to call you baby, really hope I can (I'll try not to call)
Cause you can't be my woman and I can't be your man (Mmm-mmm-mmm)
[Chorus]
Guess it's over, baby (Uh, whooh)
Nothin' left to say (We'll never ever)
Except to leave me hopin'
That you'll feel okay (The problem that we have)
This was never part of the masterplan (Mm-hm, uh)
You'll never be my woman (I know you'll never)
I'll never be your man (Whooh)
[Post-Chorus]
And that's got to be the way
Mm-hm-hm-hm
[Chorus]
Guess it's over, baby (Mmm)
Nothin' left to say (No, no, no, no)
Except to leave me hopin'
That you'll feel okay (Do you feel okay without me, girl?)
This was never part of the masterplan (Whooh)
You'll never be my woman (Uh-uh)
I'll never be your man (Whooh)
Guess it's over, baby (I will never)
Nothin' left to say (Be your man)
Except to leave me hopin' (Mm-hm)
That you'll feel okay (I hope you're doing fine, baby)
This was never part of the masterplan
You'll never be my woman (I will never, ah-ah, mmh)
I'll never be your man (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Guess it's over, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Nothin' left to say (Please believe me)
Except to leave me hopin'
That you'll feel okay (There were times when I thought [?] get it together)
This was never part of the masterplan
You'll never be my woman (Baby, please believe me, mmm)
I'll never be your man (I will never, never, never, never, never, never, never, baby)
