[Intro]
Ooh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh

[Verse 1]
If he keeps changing for no shoes, I need two
Come right back at me alone again
Maybe I didn't need the use, out of him
Didn't come with no type of warranty

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no one that I adore
More than your love
It hurts me more
To let you down
And again
There's no one
Who could ever
Show me the way to never
Try someone better than you, you

[Chorus]
Should I take him back, after what he did?
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
How I feel, so I'll just go away (Ooh, ooh)
Should I take him back
After what he did?
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
How I feel, so I'll just go away (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Don't wanna go through the same games, again
He's no good and that's just it for me
Does it every time he returns, there's no use
I'll just be the one left in the end

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no one that I adore
More than your love
It hurts me more
To let you down
And again
There's no one
Who could ever
Show me the way to never
Try someone better than you, you

[Chorus]
Should I take him back, after what he did?
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
How I feel, so I'll just go away (Hey, hey)
Should I take him back, after what he did?
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
How I feel, so I'll just go away (Hey)
Should I take him back, after what he did?
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
How I feel, so I'll just go away (I'll just go a-, I'll just go away)
Should I take him back, after what he did?
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
(Oh, whoa, oh, whoa, oh whoa)
How I feel, so I'll just go away (So, oh-oh-ah)

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh, oh
Don't wanna go through the same thing
Better if we remain
Don't wanna through the same games, baby

[Chorus]
Should I take him back, after what he did? (What he did)
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace (Can't begin)
How I feel, so I'll just go away (So I'll, so I'll go away)
Should I take him back, after what he did? (Oh, whoa, whoa)
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
How I feel, so I'll just go away (How I feel, I'll go away)
Should I take him back?

[Post-Chorus]
There's no one that I adore
And you know it hurts me more
To let you back in to my life
You ain't never treat me right
There's no one that I adore
And you know it hurts me more
To let you back in to my life
You ain't never treat me right

[Outro]
Should I take him back, after what he did?
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
How I feel, so I'll just go away, hey
Should I take him back, after what he did?
Hurt me in ways that I can't begin to replace
How I feel, so I'll just go away
