Space (Introducing Melody Thornton)

Hmm, hmm

The plan was to let me down gently, I know
The game was to call it temporary, oh-oh
Boy, be careful what you wish for, uh
'Cause you might get that and so much more
I won't shed a tear if you don't want me here

Boy, I'll give you space
In the closet where my clothes should be
In that empty bed without me
Now, I'm walking out the front door (front door)
You got exactly what you asked for: Space

In your phone where it said my name
Where I tore my picture out your frame
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for: Space

Now wait, this ain't no way to be treated, hmm
Mistakes, you can't have your cake and eat it, no, no, uh
'Cause any real man would up and leave
But I guess that's more than you can be
Let me help you out, I'ma leave right now

Boy, you got your space
In the closet where my clothes should be
In that empty bed without me
Now, I'm walking out the front door (front door)
You got exactly what you asked for: Space

In your phone where it said my name
Where I tore my picture out your frame
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for: Space

Where my kiss should be
In your arms where they used to be holdin' me
In your car, on the passenger side
There's an empty seat where I used to ride
Space in your mind when you think of me
'Cause I'm about to be a memory

Now you got your space, yeah
In the closet where my clothes should be (where my clothes should be)
In that empty bed without me (without me)
Now, I'm walking out the front door (I'm out the door, and back, no more)
You got exactly what you asked for: Space (space)

In your phone where it said my name (yeah, woo)
Where I tore my picture out your frame (your frame)
And I won't be around when you figure out
You got exactly what you asked for: Space

I'll give you your space
You got your space
You got exactly what you asked for
Ooh, baby, I'm so gone
You got me saying bye, baby
