I know you're going out on the town
Stepping out on me
You flirt with every girl around
And never mind my jealousy
Well, I'm so tired of playing the fool
When I know what's going on
I know you're no good for me
And one day, baby, I'll be gone

But on the other hand
Ooh, I love you, baby
On the other hand
When I hear your pretty lies
I know I ought to break away from you
I know that it would be the right thing to do
I want to leave you
But on the other hand

I keep thinkin' 'bout all those nights
When you lay by my side
You give me such good loving, baby
I'd just as soon forget my pride
My friends tell me I'd be better off
If I found someone new
Every time I get strong enough
To think I can get along without you

On the other hand
Ooh, I love you, baby
On the other hand
When I hear your pretty lies
I know I ought to break away from you
I know that it would be the right thing to do
I want to leave you
But on the other hand

I would die
But I know you're no good
I want to leave you, baby, like I know I should
Like I know I should

But on the other hand
Ooh, I love you, baby
On the other hand
When I hear your pretty lies
I know I ought to break away from you
I know that it would be the right thing to do
I want to leave you
But on the other hand, I love you
