Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I've been talking to some friends of mine about you, boy
They say you're 'bout to have a child
When you gonna tell me 'bout it?
This other chick you're sleepin' with
Now you gotta deal with it
Hope you've found happiness
I've found myself in such a mess
With you
And I put way too much love into you
Though the one day we'll be true
And time after time, I stuck with you
But now I'm too through
'Cause I've been the fool sittin' 'round too long
I think it's 'bout time ring da bell and carry on
(Forgave you before) yes, I did
(But it's too far long) yes I did, yes I did
I think it's 'bout time that I ring da bell and move along
You said it was a mistake
On one night you saw her late
Must have been for pure affection
Boy, you didn't have protection
You had to think of me, but you did never see
Yourself in this predicament
You never thought that it would catch up with you
I put way too much love into you
Thought that one day we'll be true
And time after time, I stuck with you
But now I'm too through
('Cause I've been the fool) yeah, yeah
(Sittin' 'round too long) sittin' 'round too long
I think it's about time (yeah) that I ring da bell and carry on
(Forgave you before) before, but it's too far gone
I think it's 'bout time that I ring da bell and move along
('Cause I've been the fool) baby
(Sittin' 'round too long) baby, baby, baby
(I think it's about time that I ring da bell and carry on) ooh, ooh, ooh
(Forgave you before, but it's too far gone) I forgave you, baby
I think it's 'bout time that I ring da bell and move along, yeah, yeah, yeah
How awful the way you treated me
(Gave you everything) I gave you everything, no
(So hurt to say) I'm too hurt
(You didn't tell me) you didn't tell me
(Can't wait to leave) baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
('Cause I've been the fool) I don't really want to know, baby
(Sittin' 'round too long) you'd never really care for me
(I think it's about time that I) I don't really want to know, baby
(Ring da bell and carry on) you'd never really care for me
Forgave you before, but it's too far long
I think it's 'bout time that I ring da bell and move along
