SWEPT OFF MY FEET


there i was from january to october
waiting on your every word
one day it’s on but the second day you say it’s over
then you come crawling back on the third

i’ve lost count of the times i’ve tried to walk out on you
and you’ve begged me not to leave
and every time you swear i’ll be your only one
but it’s getting harder to believe

it’s time i swept you off my feet
i’m walking out on you at last
cos you’re a liar and a cheat
how many times can you ask for one more chance?

you think i don’t know where you are when i’m not with you
but i can see it in your eyes
i know you tell him that he’s your only one
and all those other sweet, sweet lies

it’s time i swept you off my feet…

i still love you, after all you’ve put me through
and it hurts me to walk away
but if you love me, you won’t try to stop me
cos tomorrow you’ll be breaking
the promises you’re making today…

it’s time i swept you off my feet
i’m walking out on you at last
cos you’re a liar and a cheat
how many times can you ask for one more chance?

it’s time i swept you off my feet
i’ve had as much as i can take
of all your lying and deceit
how many times do you think a heart can break?
