[English]

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE,

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE LIKE WE USED TO DO

WE DON'T LOVE ANYMORE

WHAT WAS ALL OF IT FOR?

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE LIKE WE USED TO DO

I JUST HEARD YOU

FOUND THE ONE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING

YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR

I WISH I WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT WASN'T ME

'CAUSE EVEN AFTER ALL THIS TIME, I STILL WONDER

WHY I CAN'T MOVE ON

JUST THE WAY YOU DID SO EASILY

DON'T WANNA KNOW

WHAT KINDA DRESS YOU'RE WEARIN' TONIGHT

IF HE'S HOLDIN' ONTO YOU SO TIGHT

THE WAY I DID BEFORE

I OVERDOSED

SHOULD'VE KNOWN YOUR LOVE WAS A GAME

NOW I CAN'T GET YOU OUTTA MY BRAIN

OOH, IT'S SUCH A SHAME

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE LIKE WE USED TO DO

WE DON'T LOVE ANYMORE

WHAT WAS ALL OF IT FOR?

OH, WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE LIKE WE USED TO DO

I JUST HOPE YOU'RE LYIN' NEXT TO SOMEBODY

WHO KNOWS HOW TO LOVE YOU LIKE ME

THERE MUST BE A GOOD REASON THAT YOU'RE GONE

EVERY NOW AND THEN, I THINK YOU MIGHT WANT ME TO

COME SHOW UP AT YOUR DOOR

BUT I'M JUST TOO AFRAID THAT I'LL BE WRONG

DON'T WANNA KNOW

IF YOU'RE LOOKIN' INTO HER EYES

IF SHE'S HOLDIN' ONTO YOU SO TIGHT

THE WAY I DID BEFORE

I OVERDOSED

SHOULD'VE KNOWN YOUR LOVE WAS A GAME

NOW I CAN'T GET YOU OUTTA MY BRAIN

OOH, IT'S SUCH A SHAME

THAT WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE LIKE WE USED TO DO

WE DON'T LOVE ANYMORE

WHAT WAS ALL OF IT FOR?

OH, WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE LIKE WE USED TO DO

LIKE WE USED TO DO

DON'T WANNA KNOW

WHAT KINDA DRESS YOU'RE WEARIN' TONIGHT

IF HE'S GIVIN' IT TO YOU JUST RIGHT

THE WAY I DID BEFORE

I OVERDOSED

SHOULD'VE KNOWN YOUR LOVE WAS A GAME

NOW I CAN'T GET YOU OUTTA MY BRAIN

OH, IT'S SUCH A SHAME

THAT WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE LIKE WE USED TO DO

WE DON'T LOVE ANYMORE

WHAT WAS ALL OF IT FOR?

OH, WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE LIKE WE USED TO DO

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

THE WAY I DID BEFORE

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE

OH, IT'S SUCH A SHAME

THAT WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE
