Lyrics

Gimme the one
Gimme the one
Gimme the one that I’m asking for
You lie and you cheat and you fall on your feat
You know I ain’t gonna take no more
I wish you could see in your heart to tell me
I wish you’d told me from the start
And let it all out,
Get it all out,
Tell me what you want from me

Whenever I try to communicate,
I see you looking for the door
You find an excuse to be with you friends
You know it don’t wanna stay at home
Why cant you be good, like a real lover would
And be faithful to me, never deceiving
And let it all out,
Get it all out,
Pour it all out to me

Ooo, Ooo, Ooo, Ooo

Well there ain’t no love then there ain’t no use
Gonna walk on by, gonna walk on through
If there ain’t no love, then there ain’t no use
Gonna walk on by, gonna walk on through

Well there ain’t no love then there ain’t no use,
Gonna walk on by, gonna walk on through
Ain’t nothing in the world that you can do
If there ain’t no love, then there ain’t no use

If there ain’t no love, then there ain’t no use
Gonna walk on by, gonna walk on through
Ain’t nothing in the world that you can do
If there ain’t no love, then there ain’t no use
