[Tara:]
There you go again, coming on to me
Like nothing here has changed

You just don't wanna know, can't you see I've let you go, baby

[Ciara:]

Get it through your head...we're history
You've misinterpreted
The way I feel for you, so what's a girl to do


[All:]
I'm sorry if I sound cruel and insensitive

But I've got my life to live

[All:]

I wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way
But you're not hearing what I say

I wish you would but you won't
Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up,... this time
I wish I could but I can't


[Cathy:]
I won't make promises that I can't keep

Can't go back again (can't be that weak)
Gotta be strong while I can, but you don't understand


[Kelly:]
I'm not a damsel in a tower, you can't rescue me
With apologies and flowers

I'm trying to make it clear, I just don't want you here

[All:]

I'm sorry if I sound cruel and insensitive
But I've got my life to live


[All:]
I wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way

But you're not hearing what I say
I wish you would but you won't
Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up,... this time

I Wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way
(I wish you would but you won't)

Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up,... this time

[Ciara:]

Made a promise to myself
That any self respecting girl
Would never let herself be put in a position where she

Stays in a love that's wrong
Stays where she don't belong
She's weak when she should be strong....


[All:]
I wish I could but I can't

Say it in a nice way, end it the right way
But you're not hearing what I say
(I wish you would but you won't)

Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up,... this time
I Wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way

(But you're not hearing what I say)
I wish you would but you won't
Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up,... this time

I Wish I could but I can't
