You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin'

You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else

'Cause I almost drowned coming to your rescue

This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself



I'm all out of rope, and I'm all out of reasons

You had me thinkin' I could help, that you needed a friend

One little white lie, and it all looks deceivin'

You keep going back out over your head again



You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin'

You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else

'Cause I almost drowned coming to your rescue

This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself



You can knock on the door

You can rattle at the windows

You can howl like a dog, but you're not comin' in

I'm anybody's fool, till I learn how the game goes

And I will never be your fool again



You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin'

You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else

'Cause I'm not gonna drown coming to your rescue

This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself
