[Verse 1]
Here's a little story that I have to tell
About somebody that I thought I knew real well
It seems lately they haven't been respecting me
Or treating me with proper dignity
Well, I don't need you
To treat me this way
And the more I seem to give you, well, the less I get
And I'm tired of living in this world of lies and regret
[Pre-Chorus 1]
What should I do?
I'm wastin' all my loving on someone like you
If you don't like me for what you see
Well, then tell me, baby, and set me free
[Chorus]
Cause what you see is what you get
Please remember, this is it
What you see is what you get
What you see is what you get
[Verse 2]
Once there was a time when I needed you
And I looked past all the things that you put me through
Well, I let my heart lead me and it lead me blind
But it won't lead me back to you this time
Well, I don't need you
To treat me this way
And the more I gave to you, well, the less I got
If you thought I was about to take it... well, I'm not!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
What should I do?
I can't waste my loving on someone like you
You don't appreciate the things you see
So now it's time for you to just set me free
[Chorus]
[Pre-Chorus 1]
[Chorus] x2
[Outro]
Bye-bye, baby, goodbye!
Bye-bye, baby, goodbye!
Bye-bye, baby
Bye-bye, baby, goodbye!
