1:
I know the reason you ve been crying, oh yeh.
I heard he won t be needing you.
How does it feel being the one left behind?
What s a matter baby? Is it hurting you?
2:
I know you found out he s been cheating, oh yeh.
And I heard he even told you he was untrue.
How does it feel being on the outside looking in?
What s a matter baby? Is it hurting you?
Chorus:
Remember, remember when I needed you so bad.
Remember, remember what you had to say.
You told me to go and find another shoulder to cry on.
/ (Break)
Then you left, oh, you left and you walked away....

I know that you ve been asking bout me, yeh.
Well I m sorry, I ve got somebody new.
And my hurting is just about over, oh yeh.
But baby, it s just started for you.

Hey, oh, what s a matter baby? Is it hurting you?
Oh yeh, do you need me? Really need me?
Well I m sorry, you know that I ve got somebody new.
Yeh, don t you know?
