Never Do That

The Pretenders · Packed! [1990]

Let me stay one more day

It would mean so much to me

(Ahh)

I won't make a sound

(Ahh)

I'll just hang around

(Ahh)

I'll sit where the last one sat

But oh no, I'd never do that



Take my mouth as far as you can see

It stretches farther than I care to think

Put me out of my misery

(Ahh)

If I could keep it shut

(Ahh)

I wouldn't be in this rut

(Ahh)

With less chance than a laboratory rat

Oh no, I'd never do that



You're a master of illusion

You say you do but you don't

You think I will, I know I won't



When I see you sitting there

It sends a shock right through me

Never thought an ordinary chair

Could have such poetry

(Ahh)

I don't deserve your time

(Ahh)

I haven't got the tact

(Ahh)

I live above my means in fact

Oh no, I'd never do that



Never do that

Never do that

I'd never do that
