If you don't wanna kiss me, so say, baby
Somebody else will, somebody else will, somebody else will
If you don't wanna kiss me, baby
Somebody else will, somebody else will kiss me better

Oh well, I ain't a gonna beg you for your love anymore
Ever since the first time I have learned the score
I thought I had to have you once, but that's in the past
Since I find I'm free from you, well, I'm free at last

If you don't wanna hold me, so say, baby
Somebody else will, somebody else will, somebody else will
If you don't wanna hold me, baby
Somebody else will, somebody else could hold me better

(Instrumental Break)

If you don't wanna love me, so say, baby
Somebody else will, somebody else will, somebody else will
If you don't wanna love me, baby
Somebody else will, somebody else could love me better
Somebody else could love me better
Somebody else could love me better
