[Verse 1]
Well, you walked out the door just like a thief in the night
I guess you never even had the balls to say goodbye
You stole my heart and you took all the cash
You split with my soul and my stereo, left me with the trash
I never been nobody's valentine and you never were a bride to be
I don't need you to be a friend of mine, I don't need charity

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't come knocking on my back door
Love isn't living around here no more
I don't want to taste your empathy

[Chorus]
I don't want no sympathy
I don't need your sympathy, baby
Don't want no sympathy
I don't need your sympathy, baby

[Verse 2]
I bet you're out on the streets, wrapped up in somebody's arms
Until it's time to pay the rent, you'll be gone, gone, gone
You got a suicide heart, you send it COD
Honey, I know your act
When you're sending it back don't come bitching to me
Who said love is just a sacrifice was a man in need of sympathy
Yes, it don't take too long to realize that you aren't getting none from me

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

When I look back in time I see love isn't been no friend to me
I never been nobody's valentine and you never were a bride to be

[Pre-Chorus] [x2]

[Chorus] [x2]
