Aaow

Hoo-hoo

I don't care what you talkin' bout, baby
I don't care what you say
Don't you come walkin' beggin' back mama
I don't care anyway

Time after time I gave you all of my money
No excuses to make
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb, baby
All is going my way

Cuz there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight
Who's laughing, baby?
Don't you know
And there's the choice that we make
And this choice you will take
Who's laughin', baby?

So just leave me alone
(Leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Stop it
Just stop doggin' me around

There was a time I used to say, "Girl, I need you"
But who is sorry now?
You really hurt, you used to take and deceive me
Now who is sorry now?
You got a way of making me feel so sorry
I found out right away
Don't you come walkin' beggin' I ain't lovin' you
Don't you get in my way

Cuz there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight
Who's laughing, baby?
Don't you know
And there's the choice that we make
And this choice you will take
Who's laughin', baby?

So just leave me alone
(Leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Stop it
Just stop doggin' me around

Cuz there's a time when you're right
And you know you must fight
Who's laughing, baby?
Don't you know
And there's the choice that we make
And this choice you will take
Who's laughin', baby?

So just leave me alone
(Leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone
(Leave me alone, leave me alone, leave me alone)
Leave me alone
Stop it
Just stop doggin' me around

Don't come beggin' me
Don't come beggin'
Don't come lovin' me
Don't come beggin'
I love you

I don't want it
I don't
I don't
I don't
I, I, I, I
Aaow

Don't come beggin' me
Don't come beggin'
Don't come lovin' me
Don't come beggin'
