And I just don't do things by halves
So come now please don't make me laugh
The wicked lay stones in my path
And friends who are snakes in the grass
I felt the warmth of you in summer days gone by
The waves they rock the boat
You smiled at me and closed your eyes

I won't bow downI won't kow tow
Won't be seen towon't be lied to
I won't turn tailwon't be blackmailed by you

And I can see through you like glass
So come now please don't make me laugh

I hear the country church bells ring for you
I see the church choir rise and sing for you
But I'll be leaving soonI'm off at high noon
I've got a heavy heartwe touch a long past

I won't bow downI won't kow tow
Won't be seen towon't be lied to
I won't turn tailwon't be blackmailed
But if you think of me
Think something sweet of me

I look around in rage
There's nothing left
There's nothing saved
Some memoriesa photograph
The future loomsso damn the past

I don't want youI don't need you
I won't bow downI won't kow tow
I won't turn tailI won't be blackmailed
Won't be seen towon't be lied to
Ohhoohooh
