[Intro: Jesy]
Mmm yeah
Oh, eh yeah

[Verse 1: Leigh-Anne & Jade]
Sick of you playing on that Xbox thing
You’re never gonna get me with a diamond ring
Look at you so confused, no you don’t have a clue
I bet you think you got me good
So tell me when’s the last time you changed that shirt?
Instead of sitting here you should be going to work
Like I do for you, you don't, and it’s not cool
Time for me to move on, nothing I could do so

[Chorus: All]
Leave, you're not the boy you said you’d be
And it’s so hard for me to breathe
How can I love you boy if you’re going nowhere?
We’re going nowhere
Bye, don’t have the strength to see you cry
I'm tired of asking myself why
How can I love you boy if you’re going nowhere?
We’re going nowhere

[Verse 2: Perrie & All & Jesy]
How am I supposed to look at you like that?
When all you ever really do is hold me back
No more for sure, it’s you who’s out the door
I think I should press delete and clear my history
I got my ambitions, yes I dream so big
While I'm ticking boxes you’ll be counting sheep
So you, do you and I’ll be me
Time for me to move on, nothing left to see so

[Chorus: All & (Jade)]
Leave, you're not the boy you said you’d be
And it’s so hard for me to breathe (No)
How can I love you boy if you’re going nowhere?
We’re going nowhere (It's so hard)
Bye, don’t have the strength to see you cry
(I don't wanna see you cry)
I'm tired of asking myself why
How can I love you boy if you’re going nowhere?
We’re going nowhere

[Bridge: Leigh-Anne]
I'm sick of dragging you up, all you do is pull me down
I wish you good luck as of now I ain't around
See, I can recollect every other rain fall
But I stayed, you won't change, that’s my only downfall (oh)
Rude boy boy pull your trousers up
I ain't your bruv huh, I deserve some respect (yeah)
Are you a man or a mouse? You don’t provide or protect
Stay stuck in the mud, I’ll be on to the next

[Chorus: All & {Perrie} & (Jade)]
Leave, you're not the boy you said you’d be
{You're not the boy you said you'd be}
And it’s so hard for me to breathe
How can I love you boy if you’re going nowhere?
We’re going nowhere
Bye, don’t have the strength to see you cry
I'm tired of asking myself why
(I'm sick and tired of asking myself why)
How can I love you boy if you’re going nowhere?
We’re going nowhere

[Outro: All & {Jade} & (Leigh-Anne)]
Bye {Yeah}
Cry (I'm sick and tired of asking why)
You’re going nowhere
We’re going nowhere
