[Verse 1]

Don't know how to take it, don't know where to go

My resistance running low

And every day the hold is getting tighter

And it troubles me so (You know that I'm nobody's fool)

I'm nobody's fool and yet it's clear to me

I don't have a strategy

It's just like taking candy from a baby and I think I must be


[Chorus]

Under attack, I'm being taken

About to crack, defences breaking

Won't somebody please have a heart?

Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart

Under attack, I'm taking cover

He's on my track, my chasing lover

Thinking nothing can stop him now

Should I want to? I'm not sure I would know how (How, how)


[Verse 2]

And this is getting crazy, I should tell him so

Really let my anger show

Persuade him that the answer to his questions is a definite, "No" (I'm kind of flattered I suppose)

Guess I'm kind of flattered, but I'm scared as well

Something like a magic spell

I hardly dare to think of what would happen, where I'd be if I fell


[Chorus]

Under attack, I'm being taken

About to crack, defences breaking

Won't somebody please have a heart

Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart

Under attack, I'm taking cover

He's on my track, my chasing lover

Thinking nothing can stop him now

Should I want to? I'm not sure I would know how (How, how)


[Instrumental Interlude]


[Chorus]

Under attack, I'm being taken

About to crack, defences breaking

Won't somebody please have a heart

Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart

Under attack, I'm taking cover

He's on my track, my chasing lover

Thinking nothing can stop him now

Should I want to? I'm not sure I would know how (How, how)

Under attack, I'm being taken

About to crack, defences breaking

Won't somebody see and save a heart?

Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart

Under attack, I'm taking cover
