It’s Not About You (It’s About Me)
[Scatting]

[Intro]
I can't take this confusion
Is this love illusion?
'Cause baby, what I need is true
You got me in the middle
I can't solve this riddle
So baby, it's goodbye to you

[Verse 1]
Late night phone calls, occasional passion
Talking too much, not enough action
Cancelled dates, half-hearted invitations
It took some time, but now I've learned my lesson

[Chorus]
It's not about you (It's not about you)
It's about me (It's about me)
I gotta go (I gotta go)
I need to be free (I need to be free)
Too many lies (Too many lies)
Not enough love (Not enough love)
Saying goodbye (Saying goodbye)
'Cause I had enough ('Cause I had enough)
[Post-Chorus]
I can't take this confusion
Is this love illusion? (Ooh, is this love illusion?)
'Cause baby, what I need is true (What I need is true)
You got me in the middle (Got me in the middle)
I can't solve this riddle (I can't solve this riddle)
So baby, it's goodbye to you (Baby, baby)

[Verse 2]
For far so long, I was feeling hopeless
But now I'm through, so I'm giving you some notice
No, it ain't your fault, it's just your nature
But it's not my job to try and rearrange you

[Chorus]
It's not about you (It's not about you)
It's about me (It's about me)
I gotta go (I gotta go)
I need to be free (I need to be free)
Too many lies (Too many lies)
Not enough love (Not enough love)
Saying goodbye (Saying goodbye)
'Cause I had enough ('Cause I had enough)

[Post-Chorus]
I can't take this confusion (I can't take it)
In this love illusion? (Is this love an illusion?)
'Cause baby, what I need is true (What I need, what I need is true)
You got me in the middle (Got me in the middle)
I can't solve this riddle (I can't solve this riddle)
So baby, it's goodbye to you
[Bridge]
Oh, it's goodbye, baby, it's goodbye
Baby, yeah, yeah
I don't need you no more
(It's good) Your lies, they bother me (Goodbye)
And I can leave (It's good)
I don't need to put up with this (Goodbye) stuff no more

I can't take this confusion (I can't take it no more)
Is this love illusion?
'Cause baby, what I need is true (What I need is true)
You got me in the middle (Got me in the middle)
I can't solve this riddle (I can't solve this riddle)
So baby, it's goodbye to you (Baby, it's goodbye)
I can't take this confusion
Is this love illusion? (I'm gonna walk away)
'Cause baby, what I need is true (What I need is true)
You got me in the middle (Got me in the middle)
I can't solve this riddle (Ooh)
So baby, it's goodbye to you (It's goodbye)

[Outro]
It's goodbye, oh
All I'm asking is for the truth
Got me in the middle, I don't wanna solve it, no
Goodbye, so long, baby
I can't take this confusion
Is this love illusion?
'Cause baby, what I need is true
You got me in the middle
I can't solve this riddle
So baby, it's goodbye to you
