[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
You say that I act insecure
But you really don't know me at all
You say a lot of things
But I don't understand
Why you don't get me as I am

[Pre-Chorus]
And I thought you were so cool
But now I can see right through
You act like you own me
But you don't know me
And now I'm so done with you

[Chorus]
Nothin' you can do to make it right
I'm not gonna stay home tonight
'Cause I'm not tryna to be that girl
And cry about it, and cry about it
Should've known it from the start
But I'm not gonna fall apart
Boy, you're gonna have to try a lot harder
If you wanna break my heart

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
So tell me what's this all about?
Your friends told me they saw you out
You were with another girl
And I don't know her name
Are you tryna hurt me intentionally?

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know that it was wrong (It was wrong)
How you just led me on (Led me on)
I'm tired of pretendin' that it's not endin'
And now we're finally through (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Nothin' you can do to make it right (Make it right)
I'm not gonna stay home tonight (Home tonight)
'Cause I'm not tryna to be that girl
And cry about it, and cry about it
Should've known it from the start
But I'm not gonna fall apart (Oh, yeah)
Boy, you're gonna have to try a lot harder
If you wanna break my heart

[Bridge]
And there's nothing you can do
That'll make it right
And there's nothing you can say
Boy, I can see through your lies
I'm not the girl I used to be
There is no happy ending to the story
Yeah, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Nothin' you can do to make it right (Make it right)
I'm not gonna stay home tonight (Home tonight)
'Cause I'm not tryna to be that girl
And cry about it, and cry about it
Should've known it from the start (From the start)
But I'm not gonna fall apart (Fall apart)
Boy, you're gonna have to try a lot harder
If you wanna break my heart

[Outro]
Ooh
If you wanna break my heart, ah-ah
