[Verse 1]
I don't want you to come 'round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
'Cause when you say it's over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
[Chorus]
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
This time I won't lose control
But one look in your blue eyes and suddenly
My heart can't tell you no
[Verse 2]
I don't want you to call me up no more
Saying you need me
You're crazy if you think just half your love
Could ever please me
Still I want to hold you, touch you
When you look at me that way
There's only one solution, I know it
You gotta stay away from me
Stay away from me
[Chorus]
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
This time I won't lose control
One look in your sad eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
My heart can't tell you no
[Verse 3]
I don't want you to come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
'Cause when you say it's over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
[Chorus]
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
Living hell...
I don't want you to come 'round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
'Cause when you say it's over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
[Chorus]
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
This time I won't lose control
But one look in your blue eyes and suddenly
My heart can't tell you no
[Verse 2]
I don't want you to call me up no more
Saying you need me
You're crazy if you think just half your love
Could ever please me
Still I want to hold you, touch you
When you look at me that way
There's only one solution, I know it
You gotta stay away from me
Stay away from me
[Chorus]
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
No matter how I try to convince myself
This time I won't lose control
One look in your sad eyes
And suddenly my heart can't tell you no
My heart can't tell you no
[Verse 3]
I don't want you to come round here no more
I beg you for mercy
You don't know how strong my weakness is
Or how much it hurts me
'Cause when you say it's over with him
I want to believe it's true
So I let you in knowing tomorrow
I'm gonna wake up missing you
Wake up missing you
[Chorus]
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
When the one you love is in love with someone else
Don't you know it's torture
I mean it's a living hell
Living hell...
