DDon'At like to see your face
F#mDon't like to Ghear you talk at all
I Acould bDe with Ann but I'd just get bored
Can't even D/F#bring myAself to call
And I Bmdon't want to Asee you Gnow
Cause I Emknow what you Alack and I can't go back to that.
Whatever's all the same
Now there's nobody to know
And I can't recall, recall your name
All I can say is so.
And I don't want to see you now
Cause I know what you lack and I can't go back to that.
Your Glife F#mis  wAhite 
And I Ddon't thinAk I like you hanging around.
