  Yo, yo (ooh yeah)
  Let me explain this to you
  See I'm not gonna let you run me
  How we're gonna do it is
  I'm gonna run you
  
  You, you've got a lot of nerve
  I guess you haven't heard
  I'm doin' fine out here on my own
  You, you think that you can come
  Around here for some fun
  But boy you've got a lot to learn
  
  Don't shake your head from side to side
  Saying that you've changed enough
  That you see the light
  Cuz you just say what you say
  And want your way
  And it's that game that you play
  It's a little late
  
  * As if
  I'm ever gonna take you back
  As if
  It's ever gonna come to that
  So see you 'round, wave goodbye
  Be a bird pass me by
  
  ** As if
  I'm gonna let you break my heart again
  As if I'm gonna let your love back in my life
  Not tonight, get a grip
  Baby as if
  
  Come on (oh, oh) come on
  (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
  Uh-huh, uh-huh, yeah
  (Oh, oh)
  
  You seem to think that I (I)
  Ain't got no sense of pride (Pride)
  Well boy you got a weird perception now (Yo)
  Of what it is to love (Love)
  And I am sure because (Because)
  You got the look of desperation
  
  Don't shake your head from left to right
  Saying that you will when you won't ever see the light
  And you just say what you say and want your way
  And it's that game that you play
  It's a little late
  
  [Repeat *]
  
  As if
  I'm gonna let you break my heart again
  As if I'm gonna let your love back in my life
  Not tonight, catch my drift
  Baby as if
  
  {Oh, oh, oh, oh...}
  You gotta go, you gotta go bye bye
  {Oh, oh, oh, oh...}
  As if
  (Never gonna take you back, whoo!)
  
  I, I got places to go (Go)
  With people you don't know (You don't know 'em)
  We're gonna dance all nice and slow (Ha, ha, ha)
  
  Don't shake your head from left to right
  Saying that you've changed and now you're on my side
  Cause you know you just want some lucky charm
  And it's that game that you play
  So I'm moving on
  
  As if
  I'm ever gonna take you back
  As if
  It's ever gonna come to that
  So be a dear, disappear
  Maybe I'm not being clear
  
  [Repeat **]
  
  (Oh, oh, oh, oh...)
  No, no, no
  As If
  I'm gonna let you break my heart again
  
  [Repeat * , **]
  
  I'm gonna let you break my heart again
  As if I'm gonna let you try and be my friend
  It's the end, take the hint
  Baby as if
  (He, he, he)
