She's got a way of getting so inside you

That you think she's gonna steal your soul

She's got a way of making sure that you can't let go.

She's got a trail of broken hearts behind her

Like a shadow where no shadow's cast

I ain't the first one and I doubt that I'll be the last.

Too long--too late

You're wrong

To ever think she'd wait.

Chorus

She don't look back.

She don't look back.

The lady don't look back

And when she's gone she's gone.

You can never tell just what she's after

You can never read it in her eyes

And in her laughter there's no hint of compromise.

You can stare into the fire forever

You can squeeze a stone until it bleeds

But you will never find the kind of love she needs.

Too much--too late

You're such a fool to think she'd wait.

(Repeat chorus twice.)
