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 feel 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
Cause 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
(La-la, la-la-la, la-la)
(La-la, la-la-la, la-la)
So listen
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
Won't be blackmailed
Won't be seen to
I won't be lied to
Ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh ooh-ooh
