All was right
We were one
You were my everything
So in love
Now Ive learned
That you werent there
How could I be so blind for you
Well I seen it in your face
That you were on a date
Girl I shouldve known you started comin in so late
Someone else had said
That I had been misled
Until the day our kid found you in someone elses bed
Sayonara
I wont be bothered
And I never want to see your face no more
Sayonara
I wont be bothered
And I never want to see your face no more
Oh no, no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no
All I know
Is you were wrong
But still I could forgive
I stayed strong
Til one day
He came by
And said our family
Was all a lie
Well I couldnt believe my ears
What he was tellin me
So I went to call the doctor
Cause I just had to see
Well he really rocked my world
You know good and well he did
Cause you knew all the time
That you had someone elses kid
Hook 2 times
Oh! oh! oh! girl
Girl Ive had it
You could have had the decency
To tell the child if not just me
Oh! oh! oh! girl
Girl forget it
Girl Im walking out that door
You can't come this way no more
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
