If I were you and I should know
I´d pack up all my bags and go
She had me last time around
Oh man she really puts you down
You´ll feel better when you´ve made the break

Do it now ´fore it´s too late
She´s a mean man-eating machine
I can´t understand how you haven´t seen

You´re just setting your self up to be shot down
And everybody knows it
No one´s going to laugh
If you walk out of her

You´re just setting yourself up to be shot down
And though you never show it
Surely you can see
Everybody´s waiting for you to go

You think she has given her heart
But she takes them up then tears them apart
It´s happened to other people too
Now would I ever lie to you

Don´t you worry after your gone
I´ll make sure she´s not alone
If you can believe everything I say
You didn´t deserve her anyway

You´re just setting yourself up to be shot down
And everybody knows it
No one´s going to laugh
If you walk out on her

You´re just setting yourself up to be shot down
And though you never show it
Surely you can see
Everybody´s waiting for you to go
