[Verse 1]
You make me weep, and wanna die
Just when you said we'd try
Loving, touching, squeezing each other
When I'm alone all by myself
You're out with someone else
Loving, touching, squeezing each other
[Chorus 1]
You're tearing me apart
Every, every day
You're tearing me apart
Oh, what can I say?
You're tearing me apart
[Verse 2]
It won't be long, yes, 'til you're alone
When your lover, oh, he hasn't come home
'Cause he's loving, ooh, he's touching
He's squeezing another
[Chorus 2]
He's tearing you apart
Ooh, every, every day
He's tearing you apart
Oh, girl, what can you say?
Cause he's loving, touching another
[Outro]
Now it's your turn, girl, to cry
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na

When I'm alone all by myself
You're out with someone else
Loving, touching, squeezing each other
[Chorus 1]
You're tearing me apart
Every, every day
You're tearing me apart
Oh, what can I say?
You're tearing me apart
