See I know it's been a while

Since I've been feelin' dry

I can tell that you're no good for me

But I've still made up my mind



See, you can tell me what you want

But I ain't going back this time

You could say it's time I even the score

With you all the rules don't apply



Just don't keep asking why

'Cause I ain't got the time

even when I see you walking by

Now, baby, that's just fine

'Cause now my tears have dried up

I know that I'm addited

But it's still been 17 days



Check this out



You've been lying for such a long time

I couldn't make this up, oh no

Dirty clothes and fancy things

You knew I'd find out soon enough, ay



I know that you're not good for me

And if you stay gonna end up inside

You told me:"Watch my back, now that we're done"

But I know you're not that kind



Just don't keep asking why

'Cause I ain't got the time

even when I see you walking by (walking by)

Now, baby, that's just fine

'Cause now my tears have dried up

I know that I'm addited

But it's still been 17 days



That you've been off my mind

I don't miss your broken smile (broken smile)

And all your funny ways

I left them all behind

But I know that I'm addicted

But it's still been 17 days



I guess it's nothing new

It's just men trouble



And so the story goes

On and on

On and on

And so I have to say

Please



No no no no

Please



(Still been 17 days)



Just don't keep asking why

'Cause I ain't got the time

even when I see you walking by

Now, baby, that's just fine

'Cause now my tears have dried up

I know that I'm addited

But it's still been 17 days
