Go and tell him
That you’re worth so much, dear
That he doesn’t have the right to play with you
That there are many men who want you
And explain to him
That you deserve something better
That now you want him far, far away
(And if he asks why, just tell him this:)
Because I’m not your toy
For you to play around with
You only tell me you love me sometimes
And that kind of thing doesn’t work for me anymore
Now you’ve got what you deserve
For leaving me with a broken heart
You come and go, come and go
After all the love I’ve given to you
I don’t know if what we had was a lie, I don’t know
Maybe it was beautiful while it lasted
What we had was like a game of chess
And you gave the king a checkmate
It was for you, for you that I was happy
And now I refuse to think
That all of this was a mistake
My eyes don’t shine, there’s no color anymore
I don’t smell your perfume
Or feel your love
Tell me, what would become of me
If I don’t hear your “I love yous” anymore
If I don’t feel your hugs anymore
I must be dying inside
Tell me, what would become of me
If I don’t hear your “I love yous” anymore
If I don’t feel your hugs anymore
I must be dying inside
Because I’m not your toy
For you to play around with
You only tell me you love me sometimes
And that kind of thing doesn’t work for me anymore
Now you’ve got what you deserve
For leaving me with a broken heart
You come and go, come and go
After all the love I’ve given to you
You don’t deserve just anyone
Or anyone who doesn’t care at all
You are precious like gold
Whoever loses you loses a treasure
And honestly, wish him well
Time puts everyone where they belong
I know it’ll hurt him to remember it all
In the end, he’ll end up calling you “baby” again
Because I’m not your toy
For you to play around with
You only tell me you love me sometimes
And that kind of thing doesn’t work for me anymore
Now you’ve got what you deserve
For leaving me with a broken heart
You come and go, come and go
After all the love I’ve given to you
