[English]

I've been thinking about

How you've been messing around

Why do you get your kicks from hurting me?

I've tried on giving you up

But now it's time to stop

'Cause boy I see that you're no good for me

If you really wanted my love so desperately

Then you should have taken time and try to rescue me!

Sorry, no can do

'Cause you're never really gonna make it better

So forget forever

Now it's time to face it boy we're through

'Cause I ain't got time for your conversations

So sorry, no can do

Sorry, sorry

Sorry, sorry

Don't try to sweet talk me no more

'Cause I've heard it all before

What makes you think I'd want you back again?

And now my mind has been made out

And I have had enough

You've had your chance and now this is the end

You could've handled things a little differently

But now you're on your own and you'll be missing me!

Sorry, no can do

'Cause you're never really gonna make it better

So forget forever

Now it's time to face it boy we're through

'Cause I ain't got time for your conversations

So sorry, no can do

It don't matter what you say

'Cause I've gone my separate way

There is nothing you can do to make me change my mind

It don't matter what you do

'Cause I'm done with loving you

Don't you bother turning back the hands of time

Sorry, no can do

'Cause you're never really gonna make it better

So forget forever

Now it's time to face it boy we're through (face it boy, face it boy, through.)

'Cause I ain't got time for your conversations (no...)

So sorry, no can do (do)

Don't try and even call me on the telephone

It don't mean a thing 'cause I'm on my own

Don't try and even call me on the telephone

It don't mean a thing 'cause I'm on my own

Don't try and even call me on the telephone (so sorry no can...)

It don't mean a thing 'cause I'm on my own

Don't try and even call me on the telephone

It don't mean a thing 'cause I'm on my own

Don't try and even call me on the telephone (no. no.)

Sorry no can do
