[Verse 1]
Oh, with a mind that renders everything sensitive
What chance do I have here?
Put an end, put an end
Put an end to every dream

[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you're near, I feel you
And I forget myself

[Chorus 1]
But not this time
Not this time
Not this time, baby
Not this time

[Verse 2]
I don't know why I give in, but I do every time
And here I am wondering why I did it again
"Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-ay", I say
You keep me going, you keep the shit away

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't know what it is, every time you're near, I feel you
And I forget myself

[Chorus 2]
No, not this time, baby
Not this time, you won't
Not this time
Not this time, darling

[Outro]
Come on, we all sing
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
No, no, not this time, baby
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
No, no, no, not this time, you won't
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Not this time, baby
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
No, ha-ha-hey, not this time, yeah
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Yeah, yeah

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
