If you don't wanna kiss me say so baby
Somebody else will somebody somebody else will somebody else will
If you don't wanna kiss me say so baby
Somebody else will somebody somebody else will kiss me better.
Oh, I ain't a gonna beg you for your love anymore
Ever since the first time I have done learned the score
I thought I had to have you once with that's in the past
Since I found out I'm free from you yes I'm free at last.
If you don't wanna hold me say so baby
Somebody else will somebody somebody else will somebody else will
If you don't wanna hold me say so baby
Somebody else will somebody somebody else will hold me better.

Oh, I ain't a gonna beg you for your love anymore
Ever since the first time I have done learned the score
I thought I had to have you once with that's in the past
Since I found out I'm free from you, yes, I'm free at last.
If you don't wanna be mine say so baby
Somebody else will somebody somebody else will somebody else will
If you don't wanna be mine say so baby
Somebody else will somebody somebody else will soothe me better...
