things you said to me sentimentally

are always on my mind

seems you harboured me but you set me free

long before you gave me time to escape

the next time i'll be on my way

cuz this time it's true

i'm turning my back on you



don't ya say it - don't say you need me

if you don't mean it - don't even try

don't ya say it - don't say you want me

if you don't mean it - don't say goodbye



you threw love at me indispensably

but you never could give it away

and it seems to me that should never be

that's why i'll never stay with you

you can't hold me down cuz it's my life too

so this time it's true

i'm turning my back on you
