How come you love him when he
Takes you for a fool
He’s only lookin’ for a good time
How can he love you when he
Treats you mean and cruel
He’s not the best thing that you could find
Is it true?
I can’t believe it
Is it true?
I just can’t see it
Is it true?
Is that you?

When we were young, we didn’t really have a care
You were hung up, I had a good line
I never knew it then but, man, I was in love
How could I know it was the right time?
Is it true?
You’ve lost that feelin’?
Is is true?
You might be leavin’?
Is it true?
Don’t wanna find out

Yes, I was so wrong
For leading you on
There wasn’t much I could do

I was a wild one, but I can change some
If that’s important to you
Is it true- you’ve lost that feelin’?
Is it true- you might be leavin’?
Is it true?
Is it true?
She’s really leavin’
She’s really leavin’
