You've got your mother and your brother Every other undercover Tellin' you what to say You think I'm stupid But the truth is That it's cupid, baby Lovin' you has made me this way So before you point your finger Get your hands off of my trigger Oh yeah You need to know this situation's getting old And now the more you talk The less I can say, oh I'm looking for attention Not another question Should you stay or should you go? Well, if you don't have the answer Why you still standin' here? Hey, hey, hey, hey Just walk away Just walk away Just walk away I waited here for you Like a kid waiting after school So tell me how come you never showed? I gave you everything And never asked for anything And look at me I'm all alone So, before you start defendin' Baby, stop all your pretendin' I know you know I know So what's the point in being slow Let's get the show on the road today Hey I'm looking for attention Not another question Should you stay or should you go? Well, if you don't have the answer Why you still standin' here? Hey, hey, hey, hey Just walk away Just walk away Just walk away I want to love I want a fire To feel the burn My desires I want to man by my side Not a boy who runs and hides Are you gonna fight for me? Die for me? Live and breathe for me? Do you care for me? 'Cause if you don't then just leave I'm looking for attention Not another question Should you stay or should you go? Well, if you don't have the answer Why you still standin' here? Hey, hey, hey, hey Just walk away If you don't have the answer Walk away Just walk away Then just leave Yeah yeah Walk away Walk away Walk away
