[Verse 1]
Oh now, it hurts again
'Cause I'm left out; I believed the promises
Oh how, does it hurt again
I should know now better than to believe him

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, all this sorrow
Ooh-ooh, will be gone tomorrow

[Chorus]
And that's my motto
Don't let 'em near enough to let me down
All this love ever does is break me now
And if it hurts so much to stay, then let him go
Oh, that's my motto

[Verse 2]
I'm not a fool
And Lord knows I'll be stupid if I still wanted you
But if I do
I'll repeat the message till I don't

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, all this sorrow
Ooh-ooh, will be gone tomorrow, morrow, morrow
[Chorus]
And that's my motto
Don't let 'em near enough to let me down
All this love ever does is break me now
And if it hurts so much to stay, then let him go
And that's my motto

[Bridge]
And if you call, oh no, I won't crawl
Back into your arms, I fall alone
'Cause I'm better off being on my own

[Chorus]
And that's my motto
Don't let 'em near enough to let me down
All this love ever does is break me now
And if it hurts so much to stay, then let him go
And that's my motto

[Outro]
That's my motto
My motto
That's my motto
