Lyrics:

"You say you don't want me.

You say you don't care.

You say that your heart.

Ain't got no room for me there.

You say you don't need me.

But I know that it's just a lie.

'Cause you call me in the night.

Tellin' me your life is better off without me.

How come you're sleepin' all alone.

Tellin' me you don't ever think about me.

Hey, you're givin' yourself away.

It's there in every move you make.

You can't hide your heartache away.

Hey, it's something you don't have to say.

It's written in the tears on your face.

I see through the part that you play.

You're givin' yourself away.

You're givin' yourself away.

It doesn't matter whay you say.

You're givin' yourself away.

You're givin' yourself away.

So you got all your freedom.

And you got all your time.

So you got the illusion that you're doing fine.

So you smile in the mirror.

Through the sadness your smile can't disguise.

Why don't you come right out and say.

Baby you can't take another day without me.

You know I'm runnin' through your blood.

Need me like a drug.

And you can't live without me.

Hey, you're givin' yourself away.

It's there in every move you make.

You can't hide your heartache away.

Hey, it's something you don't have to say.

It's written in the tears on your face.

I see through the part that you play.

You're givin' yourself away.

You're givin' yourself away.

It doesn't matter whay you say.

You're givin' yourself away.

You're givin' yourself away.

And when you call me in the night.

Tellin' me your life is better off without me.

I know that you're lyin' there alone.

Baby cause I know, you can't live without me.

Hey, you're givin' yourself away.

It's there in every move you make.

You can't hide your heartache away.

Hey, it's something you don't have to say.

It's written in the tears on your face.

I see through the part that you play.

You're givin' yourself away.

You're givin' yourself away.

It doesn't matter whay you say.

You're givin' yourself away.

You're givin' yourself away."
