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 down, I won't kow tow Won't be seen to, won't be lied to I won't turn tail, won'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 soon, I'm off at high noon I've got a heavy heart, we touch a long past
I won't bow down, I won't kow tow Won't be seen to, won't be lied to I won't turn tail, won'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 memories, a photograph The future looms, so damn the past
I don't want you, I don't need you I won't bow down, I won't kow tow I won't turn tail, I won't be blackmailed Won't be seen to, won't be lied to Ohh, ooh, ooh
