[Verse 1]

Don't come close

I don't want you to see my face

My face

You go away, I work so hard

I don't have time to start all over

I'd like to be…

[Pre-Chorus 1]

Leave you without feelin' bad

And leave you with the knowledge that

[Chorus]

Most, most people would release you

Most, most people don't change, they only get old

So, if I let you back in close

Will you hurt me?

[Verse 2]

In all your life

You'll never live down what you can't forget

So forget it

Flickin' away them gnats and flies

Bringin' disease to the surface

Our child must be…

[Pre-Chorus 2]

Sharper than your average man

Tell me, honey, what's the plan?

[Chorus]

Most, most people would release you

Most, most people don't change, they only get old

So, if I let you back in close

Will you hurt me?

[Bridge]

"Don't come close," she said

I'd never stoop so low

[Outro]

I'm gonna need some tellin' me you want me

I can't hear you, so take some time to think about it

Most, most, people would release you

(I'm gonna need some tellin' me you want me)

Most, most people don't change, they only get old

(I can't hear you, so take some time to think about it)

So, if i let you back in close

(I'm gonna need some tellin' me you want me)

Will you hurt me?

(I can't hear you, so take some time to think about it)
