[Verse 1]
When I know my heart can't take it
That's when I see you comin' back around
I give you my mind, and then you break it
Leavin' shattered pieces on the ground

[Chorus]
(Tell me why)
I need you, I just can't stand
Things you do to me
I need you to understand
How much you should be needin' me

[Verse 2]
I try to be a man but you won't let me
You short-change me with every love you give, yeah
I'm better off if you would just forget me
I only tried to show you how to live

[Chorus]
(Tell me why)
I need you, I just can't stand
Things you do to me
I need you to understand
How much you should be needin' me
[Outro]
I need you, I just can't stand
Things you do to me
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
I need you, I just can't stand
Things you do to me
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
I need you, I just can't stand
Things you do to me
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
I need you, I just can't stand
Things you do to me
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
