I heard you talking about the state that were living in. And I feel again. I never could win. There I saw you walking. Another lover right by your side. Why can't you play fair? But I do not care. Just another lonely weekend. Just another weekend without you. I will shed no tears. Girl, I will survive. It's just another weekend alone. Another lonely weekend. I'm tired of waiting. Infatuation is over now. I made up my mind. So don't waste my time. Don't call me a loser. Don't need your love till the end of time. For I had my share. So I do not care.
