Lyrics
We've been together since way back in school
Back when you used to think that I was cool
So just imagine how it felt to me
When there was someone else you had to see
I know you won't believe me when I tell you this
But baby I've just got to say
I saw it coming from a mile away
You didn't tell me, I could read your face
And leaving evidence all over the place
Like brand new numbers on your telephone
And all the Friday nights when you weren't home
And when I noticed you were walking around
wearing brand new lingerie
I saw it coming from a mile away
I know all about the guy you're seeing
And I know he's the reason why you're leaving
The grass is always greener on the other side
Until you find out that the grass has died
I know you're always holding interviews
For lovers on your resume
I saw it coming from a mile away
Remember last December when you had to go
With all your girlfriends down to Mexico
With your gaucho on the coucho playing hide the snake
Tell me how much more you think a man can take
And when I tried to call you for a day or two
You were always M.I.A.
I saw it coming from a mile away
