Is that the way we stand? Were you lyin' all the time? Was it just a game to you? [Chorus] But I'm in so deep You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger, oh-oh-oh Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to? Do you have to?

Do you have to let it linger? You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger, oh-oh-oh Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to? Do you have to? Do you have to let it linger?
