  • I'll pack up all my things and walk away,
    I don't want to hear another word you have to say
    I've been waiting for so long,
    And just found out there's something wrong
    Nothing will get better if I stay
    There's no need to explain anymore
    I tried my best to love you,
    Now I'm walkin' out the door
    (Walkin' out the door)
    You used me, you deceived me,
    And you never seem to need me
    But I bet, you won't forget me when I go
    Oh no, no, no

    Seems I've been lost in a dream
    Pretending that you care
    But now I've opened up my eyes
    And found it's all been just a great big fairytale
    I've been lovin' you so long
    Don't think I even know how to forget you
    But now the way that things have been
    I think I'm better off alone than to be with you
    You don't love me it's plain to see

    There's no need to explain anymore
    I tried my best to love you,
    Now I'm walkin' out the door
    (Walkin' out the door)
    Ahh, you used me, you deceived me,
    And you never seem to need me
    But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go
    Oh no, no, no

    Seems I've been lost in a dream
    Pretending you were mine
    Someday you'll open up your eyes
    And realize that a good woman's hard to find
    Yes I've been lost in a dream
    Pretending that you care
    But now I've opened up my eyes
    And found it's all been just a great big fairytale Writer/s: Anita Pointer, Bonnie Pointer
