[Verse 1]
All along, I had to talk about it
But like a two-edged sword, it cuts you in its stab
All along, I knew you were a phony girl (Hee-hee)
You sit behind the mask and you control your world
You sit around and I watch your face
I try to find the truth, but that's your hiding place (Ah)
You say you love me, but it's hard to see (Ah)
'Cause when he's in your arms, you're throwing rocks at me

[Chorus]
Who do you love? (Hee-hee-hee)
Is it me (Hee-hee-hee) with you?
I don't know
Who do you love? (Hee-hee-hee)
I don't want it (Hee-hee-hee) if I can't have it
You know me, hoo

[Post-Chorus]
(There is nothing in your eyes)
There is nothing in your eyes
(But that's the way you cry)
But that's the way you cry, girl (Cry, girl)
(All is grand, all is bright)
All is grand, all is bright
(You're just studying my mind)
Ayy-ayy-ayy
