LYRICS
Don’t keep me waiting, anticipating
Treating me like a fool
I got news for you
I’m turning my back
I’m dropping a bomb on you
Ah-ow
You want me, you need me
Believe me, you’ll be calling
You love me, you hate me
Believe me, you’ll come crawling
So get down and get off
I’ma show you what you’ll been missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
Don’t keep me guessing
I’m your favorite obsession
Don’t give me that lame excuse
Is it me that your messing
It’s the same old confession
You’re the one with something to lose
Ah-ow
Watch out now don’t black out
There’s no doubt you can’t have it
Control you, I’ll own you
I’ll show you but you still can’t have it
So get down and get off
I’ma show you what you’ll been missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
So get down and get off
Your not the only one that I’ve been missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
You’ll be kicking and screaming
You’ll be kicking and screaming (ow)
I’m so deceiving
You’ll be kicking and screaming
Watch out now, you’ll find out
You’ll cry out there’s no one above me
I play hard, don’t run far
Come back now I really do like – ow
So get down and get off
I’ma show you what you’ll been missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
So get down and get off
Your not the only one that I’ve been missing
We break up, you break down
Gonna drag you through this kicking and screaming
You’ll be kicking and screaming
You’ll be kicking and screaming
Kicking and screaming
Kicking and screaming
