lyrics

So be that way and stay away
I forget, you never will upset your girl
I know you love her.
Still, it's hard to say her lovely name.
Her lovely name.

And all those times you slipped away
Without a word I thought at least you'd say,
"So long, my flower.
I always will remember your lovely face.
Your lovely face."

I warned you, I could love you more than you want me to

And I never seen light like the Fourth of July,
Your hand held in mine just for that night.
And you know how I hate it when you ask me the time.
Well, I'm not a baby, I just thought you could save me
From my loneliness.
My loneliness.

I warned you, I could love you more than you want me to

I warned you, I could love you more than you want me to

Let me stay here. I can't make you see
What it's done to me.

So be that way and stay away.
I forget, you never will upset your girl.
I know you love her.
Still, it's hard to say...
Her lovely name.
