I Ain't Gonna Take It This Time
Hall And Oates · Legendary [2002]
And don't even realize what you're doing is killing my soul
Do you think I'm just some prize
You can win and then discard after the thrill is gone?
Well, listen then
I ain't gonna take it this time
I ain't gonna take that from anyone
I ain't gonna take it this time
Guess I'm gonna break out
You know I try to please
I lay awake at night
Trying to find the words you'll understand
But when I'm nothing but sincere
I know you can't be hearing
Cause you say it's more of the same
Well, listen then
Do you think I'd ever try to fool you
There are enough lies in the world
You don't need mine
If I can't win your heart and move you
You must be blind
