I don't care what you're talkin' 'bout, baby
I don't care what you say
Don't you come walkin', beggin' back, mama
I don't care anyway
Time after time I gave you all of my money
No excuses to make
Ain't no mountain that I can't climb, baby
All is going my way

('Cause there's a time when you're right)
(And you know you must fight)
Who's laughing, baby
Don't you know
(And there's the choice that we make)
(And this choice you will take)
Who's laughin', baby

So just leave me alone, girl
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around

There was a time I used to say
Girl I need you
But who is sorry now
You really hurt
You used to take and deceive me
Now who is sorry now
You got a way of making me feel so sorry
I found out right away
Don't you come walkin', beggin'
I ain't lovin' you
Don't you get in my way

'Cause
(There's a time when you're right)
(And you know you must fight)
Who's laughing baby
Don't you know
(And there's the choice that we make)
(And this choice you must take)
Who's laughin' baby

So just leave me alone, girl
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Stop it!
Just stop doggin' me around

Just stop doggin' me around
Don't come beggin' me
Don't come beggin'
Don't come lovin' me
Don't come beggin'
I love you
I don't want it
I don't... I don't... I don't...
Don't come beggin' me
Don't come beggin'
Don't come lovin' me
Don't come beggin'
I love you
I don't want it
I don't need it
