Please leave me alone
I'm out on my own
And I'm trying to figure out
How to live without you in my life
I'm just trying to make you see
You keep me hangin' on
Knowing that you're doin' me wrong
My world just falls apart
Knowing that you're breaking my heart
Because
Chorus:
I can't stop loving you
No matter what I do
And all the pain that I go through's for you
It's torture what you do
The pain you put me through
'Cause everything that I do, I do it for you
Please don't try to pretend
That your love's not ended
If it's not, you wouldn't do this to me
For all that it's worth
'Cause I'm the one that hurts
Baby, why can't you let me be
You keep me hangin' on
Knowing that you're doin' me wrong
Please don't try to pretend
'Cause our love has come to an end
Chorus
You keep me hangin' on
Knowing that you're doin me wrong
My world just falls apart
Knowing that you're breaking my heart
Because...
Chorus x 2
[end]
Overall, the song is better than "Messed Around". The tempo/beat is simpler than "Messed Around", but it is catchy in its own right. Again, because of the co-ed group, it could've been "he said/she said", but it isn't. It's a gender-neutral song; the group could have switched parts.
Although the chorus repeats (as usual) during the end, like "Bringin' Da Noise", the music makes up for it. As repetition enforces a point, it makes the point that the singer(s) "can't stop loving you" try as they might.
Lyrically, it is good in that it keeps describing the 'can't stop loving you' feeling. A potential improvement could have been to add a 'stop doing this to me' viewpoint.
Out of a 5-point scale:
Lyrics: 3.5
Music: 3.5
Overall: 3.5
