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 rocked 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
Ohh, ooh, ooh
Ohh, ooh, ooh
Ohh, ooh, ooh
Ohh, ooh, ooh
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 rocked 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
Ohh, ooh, ooh
Ohh, ooh, ooh
Ohh, ooh, ooh
Ohh, ooh, ooh
