In this poem, Propertius is writing to Cynthia, a girl he had loved, to tell her that he knows that she had been cheating and lying to him about it. This is similar to the song, in which the singer tells the girl he loves that he knows that she’s lying about her cheating and he wants her to stop.

Look what you’re doing
I’m feeling blue and lonely
Would it be too much to ask of you
What you’re doing to me?
You got me running
And there’s no fun in it
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you’re doing to me?
I’ve been waiting here for you
Wondering what you’re gonna do
And should you need a love that’s true
It’s me
Please, stop your lying
You’ve got me crying, girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you’re doing to me?
I’ve been waiting here for you
Wondering what you’re gonna do
And should you need a love that’s true
It’s me
Please, stop your lying
You’ve got me crying, girl
Why should it be so much to ask of you
What you’re doing to me?
What you’re doing to me
What you’re doing to me
Listen to the song:
