[Tara:]

There you go again, coming on to me
Like nothing here has changed
You just don't wanna know, can't you see I've let you go, baby

[Ciara:]

Get it through your headwe're history
You've misinterpreted
The way I feel for you, so what's a girl to do

[All:]

I'm sorry if I sound cruel and insensitive
But I've got my life to live

[All:]

I wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way
But you're not hearing what I say
I wish you would but you won't
Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up, this time
I wish I could but I can't

[Cathy:]

I won't make promises that I can't keep
Can't go back again (can't be that weak)
Gotta be strong while I can, but you don't understand

[Kelly:]

I'm not a damsel in a tower, you can't rescue me
With apologies and flowers
I'm trying to make it clear, I just don't want you here

[All:]

I'm sorry if I sound cruel and insensitive
But I've got my life to live

[All:]
I wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way
But you're not hearing what I say
I wish you would but you won't
Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up, this time
I Wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way
(I wish you would but you won't)
Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up, this time

[Ciara:]

Made a promise to myself
That any self respecting girl
Would never let herself be put in a position where she
Stays in a love that's wrong
Stays where she don't belong
She's weak when she should be strong

[All:]
I wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way
But you're not hearing what I say
(I wish you would but you won't)
Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up, this time
I Wish I could but I can't
Say it in a nice way, end it the right way
(But you're not hearing what I say)
I wish you would but you won't
Boy why won't you wake up, they'll be no kiss and make up, this time
I Wish I could but I can't
