Once I get you off my mind It's just like clockwork every time You know exactly what to do When I stop thinkin' 'bout you Oh, I, I, I You got all the words to say Just so you can get your way But when I start to see it through And I picture me with you You lie, lie, lie With you, ain't nothing ever really different But somehow every time I always give in Don't waste my time on temporary feelings Oh, I, I, I You'll pick up your phone thinkin' You should call me up 'Cause you're wonderin' how I've been And you'll say you're still in love Oh, I wish you wouldn't, 'cause you know you shouldn't You'll say you couldn't help it, but you're really bein' selfish So I wish you wouldn't, I wish you wouldn't I wish you wouldn't, yeah, yeah Say you'll never let me go When you just hate to be alone So, baby, can't you tell the truth? You know it ain't me, it's you Oh, I, I, I If I'm bein' honest I knew better But I liked the sound of you and me together I should've listened when they said I'd get hurt Oh, I, I, I You'll pick up your phone thinkin' You should call me up 'Cause you're wonderin' how I've been And you'll say you're still in love Oh, I wish you wouldn't, 'cause you know you shouldn't You'll say you couldn't help it, but you're really bein' selfish So I wish you wouldn't, I wish you wouldn't I wish you wouldn't, but I wish you would Let me let myself move on If you're gonna go, then just stay gone It's just like me to play along Even though I know what's right and wrong You'll pick up your phone thinkin' You should call me up 'Cause you're wonderin' how I've been And you'll say you're still in love But, oh, I wish you wouldn't, 'cause you know you shouldn't You'll say you couldn't help it, but you're really bein' selfish So I wish you wouldn't, I wish you wouldn't I wish you wouldn't
