[Verse 1:]
    I'm on parade, you don't say: why can't you see that
  Keeping my feelings at bay: why can't you see that when
    When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you [x 2]
  I'm just better off...
    [Verse 2:]
    All of the years add up to: why can't you see that
  Something has happened to you: why can't you see that when
    When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you [x 4]
  You just get me down
    It's not me, it can't be
  I'd rather leave
  It's getting hard, to be a part
  Of what is around
  Is this the situation of the time
  If so you can have yours, I want mine
  I know there's something better you could be
  Now I am past caring, completely
    When you're around, you just get me down, I'm better off without you [x 4]
