You're asking me to tell you
How to deal with that old flame

When you see her out there
And you still feel the same
How she ripped out your whole heart

And took it with her when she left
You're face to face now looking at her
She's holding on to somebody else


[Chorus]
Tell her you don't love her

And tell her you don't care
And tell her you don't need her
And you don't miss her then

And give her that cold shoulder
And say you've never cried
Just look her in the eye and lie


You may not get over
Some loves in your life

But as you'll get over
You'll know wrong more than right
But you might get lucky

And those feelings fade away
The chances are they'll come back around
To be ready now and just what to say


[Chorus]
Just tell her you don't love her

And tell her you don't care
And tell her you don't need her
And you don't miss her then

And give her that cold shoulder
And say you've never cried
Just look her in the eye and lie X 2
