Lionel Richie
Serves You Right
[Intro]
La, da, da, da
Oooh, oh
[Verse 1]
You and I were so in love
You were all I was thinking of
There was so much magic in your eyes
Then one day you said we were through
You said you found somebody new
And then you turned and you walked right out the door
Baby I told you his love wasn't true
You didn't hear me, so now I say these words to you
[Chorus]
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Now you say you're sorry
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Baby
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Now you see who's sorry now
Oooh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
I remember you standing there, saying to me you didn't care
And I was begging baby, please don't go
Now you're crying, telling me what went wrong
Girl you stayed away too long
Can't you see I've got you off my mind
Thinking 'bout the pain that you put me through
I can't help you-because it feels good telling you
[Chorus]
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Now you say you're sorry
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Baby
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Now you see who's sorry now
Oooh, oh, oh
[Verse 3]
See mama, what I'm trying to say
To you is that, I'm, you know, I love ya
But ya - yaa hurt me so bad, I can't take it no more girl
I just can't take it, no.....hell no
No! no, no, I don't wanna hear it
Don't say it anymore, don't talk
No more, I'm tired of you're lying
I'm tired of your crying girl, tell
Me....don't tell me
Thinking 'bout the pain that you put me through
I can't help you-because it feels good telling you
[Chorus] X2
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Now you say you're sorry
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Baby
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Now you see who's sorry now
Oooh, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
Giving up on your love girl, never
Going to believe you anymore
'cause all you want to do is hurt me
And treat me bad feels good telling you
[Chorus]
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Girl, I just don't need you
Serves you right for saying good-bye
All you do is use my love
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Can't let you hurt me anymore
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Don't say you're sorry baby
Serves you right for saying good-bye
Cause your words don't mean a thing
Serves you right for saying good-bye
It's you who's sorry now
