Lyrics

Mm-mm-mm-mm Baby, I've been watching from a distance And everything it rings familiarly, mm But I can't imagine what you must be thinkin' 'Cause she can never be what I can be Oh, loneliness has really got you twisted And there's so much your eyes don't even see, yeah, yeah And then I laid my eyes upon your woman And to my surprise, I saw me lookin' at me But how could you be with her? (Her) You don't really love her, no (she) 'Cause she's not me and I (I) I won't stand by and watch you pretend So, baby, how could you? (Her) You don't really love her, no (she) 'Cause she's not me and I (I) I can't stand by and watch you pretend We parted so that we could make it better 'Cause boy, you said we needed time and space, mm We vowed that it was only temporary But I never thought that I would be replaced (Now you're livin' all our dreams with another) ooh, you're livin' our dreams And you're givin' my love away (and you're givin' everything you promised me) Ooh-ooh, how could you pretend? (You're pretending we're together when we're nothing) Oh-oh, But she's not me, she can't be, no (she's not me, she can't be) How could you be with her, oh, baby? (Her) You don't really love her, no, no (she) 'Cause she's not me and I (I) I can't stand by and watch you pretend So how could you play me? (Her) 'Cause you don't really love her, no (she) 'Cause she's not me and I (I) I can't stand by and watch you pretend I never thought that you would be hurting this way And I never thought I'd be without you (yeah, without) Without you (oh, no) You didn't have to run away to find me again 'Cause I've always been here (always), I am the real thing (I am) So don't you pretend, oh-oh (her) You don't really love her (she) 'Cause she's not me and I (I) I can't stand by and watch you pretend, oh (her) You don't really love her, no (she) 'Cause you really love and and I (I) I can't stand by and let you pretend We can start again (her) You gotta let her go, baby (she) And bring your love to me (I) I want your love, I need your love You can't pretend
