[Verse 1]

And here we go, here we go, back to basics

Another round of all the things I've heard before

I'm staying low, staying low, turning pages

I thought I killed you, now you're knocking at my door

[Pre-Chorus]

But I'm gonna get right

What will it take this time

To shut you up?

Love like a lead pipe

The cold and callous type

I hate your guts

[Chorus]

And I'm never gonna

Give you what you want me to give

You'll never play, won't let you play me again

I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in

So I won't let you win

[Verse 2]

And here we go, here we go, down a dead-end road

Another lesson in confession like I sold my soul

I wanna know, wanna know how that story goes

Cause if we're betting then I'm guessing that you're blowing smoke

You're going on and on and on

Telling me all the things I'm not

You're going on and on and on

But by the end of the night, you'll be gone

[Chorus]

And I'm never gonna

Give you what you want me to give

You'll never play, won't let you play me again

I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in

So I won't let you win

And I'm never gonna

Give you what you want me to give

You'll never play, won't let you play me again

I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in

So I won't let you win, I won't let you win

[Bridge]

I'm gonna get right

What will it take this time

To shut you up?

I'm gonna get right

I'm gonna get right

Love like a lead pipe

Love like a-

[Chorus]

And I'm never gonna

Give you what you want me to give

You'll never play, won't let you play me again

I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in

So I won't let you win

And I'm never gonna

Give you what you want me to give

You'll never play, won't let you play me again

I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in

So I won't let you win, I won't let you win
