It's not like before, baby you can't come running back no more... And talk to me when it cuts like a knife You just talk to me baby when the feelin' ain't right Who do you think you're foolin' not me September rain is fallin' I see you on the street just passin' by And though your lips are smilin' I can see the coldness in your eyes So hell is what you've been through I never thought I'd see you 'round here no more Now you need someone to talk to Just like before You only talk to me when it cuts like a knife You just talk to me baby when you hurt deep inside Who do you think you're foolin' not me You had to have it your way From you that was a promise and a threat Now you look for consolation Just remember what you give is what you get The hardest part was changin' I was holdin' on the dreams from yesterday I used to be here waitin' Here's what I say You only talk to me When it cuts like a knife You just talk to me baby When the feelin' ain't right Who do you think you're foolin' not me
