I used to need you, but then I finally learned
I used to want you, but now the table's turned
I used to love you, now it's your time to squirm
I'm sayin' good-bye and I won't wait for your return

So get out and stay out, I've finally had enough
Don't kiss me on your way out, it wouldn't move me much
You used me, abused me, you cheated and you lied
So get out and stay out, I'm takin' back my life

I wonder what you'll do when I am not around
Now that your new love has up and let you down
You've always come cryin' to me throughout the years
To mend another broken heart and dry your selfish tears

So get out and stay out, I'm movin' on at last
'Cause I've been so foolish, but that was in the past
I never thought I'd be the one to say good-bye
So get out and stay out, I'm takin' back my life

Dreams and plans are in the makin'
Just wish it was as simple as it sounds
Life is out there for the takin'
Now that I'm unfettered and unbound

You get out and you stay out, I've finally had enough
Don't kiss me on your way out, it wouldn't move me much
You used me, abused me, you cheated and you lied
So get out and stay out, I'm takin' back my life
I'm takin' back my life
Takin' back my life
I'm takin' it back

I used to need you
I used to want you
I used to love you
But now the table's turned
