[Intro]
Goodbye
Should be saying that to you by now, shouldn't I?
Laying down a law that I live by
Well, maybe next time

[Verse 1]
I've got a thick tongue
Brimming with the words that go unsung
I simmer, then I burn for a someone, the wrong one
And I tell myself to let the story end
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
My 'why not me?' philosophy began
And I say

[Chorus]
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday
Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday

[Verse 2]
Maybe it's a vicious little word that can slay me
Keep me when I'm hurting, you make me
Hang from your hands
Well, no more
I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
If I'm aching at the thought of you, what for?
It's not me anymore
And I'm not the girl that I intend to be
But I dare you, darlin', just you wait and see
But this time, not for you, but just for me
I say
[Chorus]
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday
Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday

[Bridge]
Standing all alone
Down, oh no no
Standing you I
This time not for you, just for me
I say

[Chorus]
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday
Oh, I wish you'd want me to stay
I'll be alright, just not tonight
Someday
