Lyrics

[Verse 1] When a good thing goes bad, it's not the end of the world It's just the end of a world that you had with one girl And she's the reason it happened, but she's overreacting And it's all because she don't want things to change [Chorus] So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you That's the wrong thing to do Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you That's the wrong thing to do Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you That's the wrong thing to do 'Cause you'll say you love me, and I'll end up lying And say, "I love you too" [Refrain] But I need someone different You know it, oh, you know it Oh, you know it, we both know it I need someone different You know it, oh, you know it Oh, you know it, we both know it Something's been missing You know it, oh, she knows it Oh, I know it, we all know it I need someone different Oh, oh [Verse 2] We live in a generation of not being in love and not being together But we sure make it feel like we're together 'Cause we're scared to see each other with somebody else [Chorus] So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you That's the wrong thing to do Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you That's the wrong thing to do Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you That's the wrong thing to do 'Cause you'll say you love me, and I'll end up lying And say, "I love you too" [Refrain] But I need someone different You know it, oh, you know it Oh, you know it, we both know it I need someone different You know it, oh, you know it Oh, you know it, we both know it Something's been missing You know it, oh, she knows it Oh, I know it, we all know it I need someone different Oh, oh [Outro: Stevie Wonder on Harmonica]
