[Verse 1:]

I'm on parade, you don't say: why can't you see that
Keeping my feelings at bay: why can't you see that when

When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you [x 2]
I'm just better off...

[Verse 2:]

All of the years add up to: why can't you see that
Something has happened to you: why can't you see that when

When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you [x 4]
You just get me down

It's not me, it can't be
I'd rather leave
It's getting hard, to be a part
Of what is around
Is this the situation of the time
If so you can have yours, I want mine
I know there's something better you could be
Now I am past caring, completely

When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you [x 4]
