[Chorus]
If you don't wanna be here, boy, just let me know
If you really don't love me, let me go
'Cause I think I'd rather be alone
Than to have you keep on
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth with me

[Verse 1]
Why don't you understand the situation that
That you've put me in? I'm so confused
'Cause the minute you do, the next you're gone
And I'm tryin' to figure out what's going on, yeah
'Cause you don't think it's nothing wrong
But I'm feelin' like you're tryin' to lead me on
Yeah, we gotta get it straight before it gets late
Ooh, you gotta help me understand how

[Pre-Chorus]
You're in and out of my life
I don't know what to do about it (I don't know what to do, oh)
Gotta make up your mind (Make up your mind)
I don't know what to do about it (Oh, you can be straight with me and say)
[Chorus]
If you don't wanna be here (Oh, boy), boy, just let me know (Let me know)
If you really don't love me (Oh), let me go
'Cause I think I'd rather be alone (I'd rather be alone)
Than to have you keep on
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth (Yeah)
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth (Oh)
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth with me

[Verse 2]
Oh, I'm sick and tired of it (Yeah)
How could you think I love it? (Yeah)
You come around, say you're down, I get nothing from it
But empty promises? I didn't ask for that, no
Boy, you're such a mess, I didn't sign up for all this
Why do that to me, when I would happily
Give you everything if you would only let me?
But since you wanna play, maybe another day, you can help me understand

[Pre-Chorus]
You're in and out of my life (In and out my life)
I don't know what to do about it (I don't know what to do about you)
Gotta make up your mind (Make up your mind)
I don't know what to do about it (Oh, you can be straight with me and say)
[Chorus]
If you don't wanna be here, boy, just let me know (Then you can let me, let me know)
If you really don't love me, let me go
'Cause I think I'd rather be alone ('Cause I'd rather be alone)
Than to have you keep on (No more)
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth
Jumping jack and forth (No)
Jumping back and forth (Don't keep jumping back)
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth (Ah)
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth with me

[Bridge]
It's funny how you be actin' like you don't want me no more
Then you come knockin' at my door (Aha, ha)
It's funny how you be sayin' that I'm not what you need
Then you'll be callin' and beggin', please! (Please, please)
See, I ain't got the time to be going through with this
Before I lose my mind and feel like I'm foolish, yeah
Just tell me the truth and I'll make my move

[Chorus]
(If you don't wanna be)
If you don't wanna be here, boy, just let me know (Then let me know)
If you really don't love me, let me go (Then let me go)
'Cause I think I'd rather be alone
Than to have you keep on (Than to have you keep on)
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth (Ooh, ooh)
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth (Jumping back)
Jumping jack and forth (And forth with me)
Jumping back and forth with me
If you don't wanna be here, boy, just let me know
If you really don't love me (I can handle it), let me go (If you're tellin' me)
'Cause I think I'd rather be alone (You'd rather be alone)
Than to have you keep on (Ooh)
Jumping jack and forth (Woah)
Jumping back and forth
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth (Oh)
Jumping jack and forth (Oh, no)
Jumping back and forth
Jumping jack and forth
Jumping back and forth with me
