[Intro]
Yeah, I hear you, but I gotta say
Sometimes love's a game we can't escape
[Verse 1]
Believe if I stay, I want it that way
Caught in the stories of yesterday
Tell me why, tell me why
Nothin' but a hardy lie
Baby, I just can't deny
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why, ain't nothing but a mistake
I never wanna hear you say, "Goodbye"
I want it that way
[Chorus]
Bye bye, I just wanna be a fool
Lost in this game, spin me like a spool
Maybe you hate me, but it’s all the same
Baby, bye bye, I play this love game
[Bridge]
To you, I may be just a fool
But I’m caught up in this cruel rule
Loving or loathing, it’s all the same
In this love’s endless game
[Outro]
Yeah, believe if I stay, I want it that way
Tell me why, tell me why
Nothin’ but a mistake
Baby, bye bye
