Lyrics

1St verse
La, da, da, da
Oooh, oh
You and I were so in love
You were all I was thinkin' of
There was so much magic in your eyes
Then one day you said we were through
You said you found somebody new
And then you turned and you walked right out the door
Baby I told you his love wasn't true
You didn't hear me, so now I say these words to you.

Chorus:
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Now you say you're sorry
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Baby
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Now you see who's sorry now
Oooh, oh,oh

2Nd verse
I remember you standin' there, sayin' to me you didn't care
And I was begging baby, please don't go
Now you're crying, telling me what went wrong
Girl you stayed away too long
Can't you see I've got you off my mind
(Change)
Thinkin''bout the pain that you put me through
I can't help you-because it feels good telling you...

Chorus:
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Now you say you're sorry
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Baby
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Now you see who's sorry now
Oooh, oh,oh

(Rap) "see mama, what I'm tryin'to say
To you is that, I'm ,you know, I love ya
But ya - yaa hurt me so bad, I can't take it no more girl
I just can't take it, no.....hell no"

"No! no, no, I don't wanna hear it
Don't say it anymore, don't talk
No more, I'm tired of you're lyin'
I'm tired of your cryin' girl, tell
Me....don't tell me."

(Change)
Thinkin' 'bout the pain that you put me through
I can't help you-because it feels good telling you...

Chorus:(repeat twice)
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Now you say you're sorry
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Baby
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Now you see who's sorry now
Oooh, yeah..

"Givin' up on your love girl, never
Gonna believe you anymore
'Cause all you wanna do is hurt me, and treat me bad"
....Feels good telling you.....

Chorus (ad-lib)
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Girl, I just don't need you
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
All you do is use my love
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Can't let you hurt me anymore
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Don't say you're sorry baby
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
Cause your words don't mean a thing
Serves you right for sayin' good-bye
It's you who's sorry now....
