[Refrain]
Waitin' for somethin’ that is never coming
So I guess I'll be on my way
I know it's over, we could never make it
So I guess I’ll just pull away

[Verse 1]
Girl, you been cheatin' and you been mistreatin'
But I'm doin' the best I can
All your confusion and my disillusion
Tell me, when is a man a man?

[Chorus]
Ooh, I couldn't live without you
Ooh, I'd like to try
So many times I've heard your hundred stories
So many times I’ve heard you say goodbye, yeah

[Verse 2]
I tried to hold you, remember I told you
That I knew all about your lies
Now that you’re goin', your vanity’s showin
I can see it all in your eyes

[Chorus]
Ooh, I couldn't live without you
Ooh, I'd like to try
So many times I'vе heard your hundred stories
So many timеs I’ve heard you say goodbye, yeah
[Bridge]
Whoa, sittin' on a rock, lookin' out at the river
Thinkin' 'bout the boat that's takin' you today
Gonna take a while but soon you'll be leavin'
Hope it's not a streamer but it's pullin' away
Watchin' all the waves come rushin' up behind you
Kinda like an army on surprise attack
You were always sayin' that you didn't need me
I hope you really mean it 'cause you're never comin' back, yeah
Once upon a time when you were just a baby
Mama used to take you to a friend of mine
You were always happy playin' with his cannon
Then you came to me and started wastin' my time
I remember when you said you were a lover
That was just about a year ago today
All you ever knew was teasin' and a-cheatin'
All you ever knew was pullin' away, away, yeah

[Refrain]
Waitin' for somethin' that is never coming
So I guess I'll be on my way
I know it's over, we could never make it
So I guess I'll just pull away
