Yesterday, the leaves were brown
And I was wearing a big frown
Because my lover left me for
The girl that he had loved before
The sky was cloudy, then turned blue
Because I saw it was no use
To want someone whose heart was elsewhere
So I've decided not to care (oh yeah)
He wants me back, but he can't have me
He wants me back, there's no denying
He wants me back, he's on his knees
Now we'll see who's crying
The grass is greener without you (it's true)
So many things for me to do
Living my life for me and on my own
It is so great to be alone
And now you're knocking at my door (ha ha)
You've realized you love me more
Well, I've no time to hear apologies
I've got the world to see
He wants me back, but he can't have me
He wants me back, there's no denying
He wants me back, he's on his knees
Now we'll see who's crying
He wants me back, but he can't have me
He wants me back, there's no denying
He wants me back, he's on his knees
Now we'll see who's crying
He wants me back, he wants me back, he wants me back
But he can't have me, no no no no no no
He wants me back, back
Ain't goin' back
Ain't goin' back
Ain't goin' back
