Let me tell you something
I've been thinking 'bout
Listen to me baby
We have to talk it out
I don't know why I can't feel our feelings like
And it makes me want you more
People say absence could be the solution
'Cause together isn't working so good

Don't stay away
I can't live with you, I can't live without you
Don't stay too long
Break up and make up, oh why don't we wake up?
Let's talk it out
Things could be better and better than they sound
Just face the fact
That we may get closer if we stay apart

It's not that I don't love you
Heaven knows I do
But time brings about a change
And now I'm so confused
Friends telling me to break up
Is the easy way
But that I just won't do
Some say that absence can make the heart fonder
And I think it might make my love for you
Stronger
And our relationship
Better
Break up!

Oh no no no

[Chorus]
Don't stay away
(I don't wanna do that, I don't wanna take the easy way out)
Don't stay too long
(I work too hard to make it good, I can't let you go now)
Let's talk it out
(Oh baby, some conversation might help our relationship)
Just face the fact
(If we make a little space, we will find a place for our love)
Don't stay away
(Don't stay away no, I don't wanna be alone)

Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
Break up!

[Chorus]
Don't stay away
(I don't wanna do that, I can't live with you, I can't live without you)
Don't stay too long
(Baby, break up and make up, oh why can't we wake up?)
Let's talk it out
(You know things could be better and better than they sound)
Just face the fact
(That we can get closer if we stay apart)

Break up!
(I don't wanna be alone)
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
No no no! I don't wanna be alone!
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
Break up!

[Chorus]
Don't stay away
(Say what you want, it's my decision and I'm going to do things my way)
Don't stay too long
(All of the pain has not rearranged my heart)
I can't let you go now
I work to hard to make it good
Baby, we can work it out
Oh yeah

Wait a minute!

Here's your chance to break up now
Break!

Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
(No no!)
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
(No baby)
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
(No no no)
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
(Oh, yeah)
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!
(I don't wanna lose)
Break up, don't you know
You're better off on your own!

Wait a minute!
