Lyrics

When you called me up this morning
Told me 'bout the new love you found
I'm said "I'm happy for you
I really happy for you."
Found someone else
I guess I won't be coming 'round
I guess it's over, baby;
It's really over, baby, whoa..
And from what you said
I know you've gotten over me;
It'll never be the way it used to be
So if it's gotta be this way
Don't worry, baby, I can take the news okay

But if you see me walking by
And the tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
If we meet on the streets someday
And I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me;
I don't want you to see me this way

When we both agreed as lovers
We were better off as friends
That's how it had to be
Yeah, that's how it had to be
I tell you I'm fine
But sometimes I just pretend;
Wish you were holding me
Wish you were still holding me, whoa..
I just never thought
That I would be replaced so soon;
I wasn't prepared to hear those words from you
I know I wanted to be free;
Yeah, baby, this is how we wanted it to be

But if you see me walking by
And the tears are in my eyes
Look away, baby, look away
If we meet on the streets someday
And I don't know what to say
Look away, baby, look away
Don't look at me;
I don't want you to see me this way

[Repeat chorus 2x]

When you called me up this morning
Told me 'bout the new love you found
I said "I'm happy for you
I'm really happy for you."
