Kicked Around No More
Paul McCartney · Other Songs - Paul McCartney
I don't wanna know no more
Head to toe, from top to bottom I've been kicked around
Don't wanna be kicked around no more
I'll be thinking of you when you go
Take a walk along the shore
Why should I pretend that nothing is the matter now?
Don't wanna be kicked around no more
My life could be so sweet
I can't remember when I started running
The water underneath the bridge can't keep a secret
She's still running home
Take my blessing with you when you go
To the next one you adore, ooh
Head to toe, from top to bottom, I've been kicked around
Ain't gonna be kicked around no more
Don't wanna be kicked around
Ain't gonna be kicked around
Don't wanna be kicked around no more
My life could be so sweet,
I can't remember when I started running
The water underneath the bridge can't keep a secret
I'm not running now
Take my blessing with you when you go
I don't wanna know no more
Head to toe, from top to bottom I've been kicked around
Don't wanna be kicked around no more
Don't wanna be kicked around
Ain't gonna be kicked around
Don't wanna be kicked around no more
