[English]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Nah

Ask you once, ask you twice now

There's lipstick on your collar

You say she's just a friend now

Then why don't we call her?

So you wanna go home with someone

To do all the things you used to do to me

I swear, I know you do

Used to take me out, in your fancy car

And make out in the rain

And when I ring you up

Don't know where you are

'Til I hear her say your name

Used to sing along, when you played guitar

That's a distant memory

Hope she treats you better than you treated me, ha

I'm onto you, yeah, you

I'm not your number one

I saw you, with her

Kissing and having fun

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done, uh

Ciao adios, I'm done

Ciao adios, I'm done

After three, after four times

Why did I bother?

Tell me how many more times

Does it take to get smarter?

Don't need to deny the hurt and the lies

And all of the things you did to me

I swear, I know you did

Now you take her out, in your fancy car

And you make out in the rain

And when she rings you up

She know where you are

But I know differently

Now she sings along, when you play guitar

Making brand new memories

Hope you treat her better than you treated me

I'm onto you, yeah, you

I'm not your number one

I saw you, with her

Kissing and having fun

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done (I'm done)

Ciao adios, I'm done (Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, no)

Ciao adios, I'm done (I'm done)

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done

And now you take her out, in your fancy car

And make out in the rain

And when she rings you up

She know where you are

But I know differently

Now she sings along, when you play guitar

Making brand new memories

Hope you treat her better than you treated me

I'm onto you, yeah, you

I'm not your number one

I saw you, with her

Kissing and having fun

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done

Yeah, ciao adios, I'm done

(You get on with your life)

Ciao adios, I'm, I'm done

(I'll get on with my life)

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done
