Baby, I’ve been watching from a distance
And everything it rings familiarly, mmmm
But I can’t imagine what you must be thinkin’
Cuz she could never be what I can be

Oh, loneliness has really got you twisted
And there’s so much your eyes don’t even see, yeah
And then I laid my eyes upon your woman
And to my surprise I saw me lookin’ at me
But how could you be with her?

Her
You don’t really love her, no
She
Cuz she’s not me and i
I
I won’t stand by and watch you pretend
So baby how could you?

Her
You don’t really love her, no
She
Cuz she’s not me and i
I
I can’t stand by and watch you pretend

We parted so that we could make it better
Cuz boy, you said we needed time and space, mmm
We vowed that it was only temporary
But I never thought that I would be replaced

Now you’re living all our dreams with another
And you’re giving everything you promised me
You’re pretending we’re together when we’re nothing
But she’s not me, she can’t be, no
How could you be with her, oh baby

Her
You don’t really love her, no, no
She
Cuz she’s not me and i
I
I can’t stand by and watch you pretend
So how could you play me?

Her
Cuz don’t really love her, no
She
Cuz she’s not me and i
I
I can’t stand by and watch you pretend

I never thought that you would be hurting this way
And I never thought I’d be without you, without you
You didn’t have to run away to find me again
Cuz I’ve always been here I am the real thing
So don’t you pretend, oh

Her
You don’t really love her
She
Cuz she’s not me and i
I
I can’t stand by and watch you pretend
Oh

Her
You don’t really love her, no
She
Cuz you really love and and i
I
I can’t stand by and let you pretend
We could start again

Her
Ya gotta let her go baby
She
And bring your love to me
I
I want your love, I need your love
