What are the lyrics to Side Effect by Mariah Carey?

[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]

I thought about you the other day

And I realize that I had to say

I'm moving on, I can't stay

Can't keep hanging around, waiting for another day

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]

'Cause I'm looking for a new direction

Need to find a new affection

I'm so tired of the rejection

You're keeping me from my reflection

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]

So I'm gonna go, let you know

I'm saying sayonara, adios

I'm gonna spread my wings and fly

No more tears in my eyes

I'm gonna let go, let you know

I'm saying goodbye, bon voyage

I'm gonna live my life without you

And take my chances on something new

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]

I know that it won't be easy

But I know that I gotta try

I gotta get up, out the door

Can't keep living in a lie, no more

[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey]

'Cause I'm looking for a new direction

Need to find a new affection

I'm so tired of the rejection

You're keeping me from my reflection

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]

So I'm gonna go, let you know

I'm saying sayonara, adios

I'm gonna spread my wings and fly

No more tears in my eyes

I'm gonna let go, let you know

I'm saying goodbye, bon voyage

I'm gonna live my life without you

And take my chances on something new

[Bridge: Mariah Carey]

I'm not saying that I don't love you

But I'm saying that I love me more

I know that you will try to stop me

But I'm not gonna let you anymore

[Chorus: Mariah Carey]

So I'm gonna go, let you know

I'm saying sayonara, adios

I'm gonna spread my wings and fly

No more tears in my eyes

I'm gonna let go, let you know

I'm saying goodbye, bon voyage

I'm gonna live my life without you

And take my chances on something new
