Lyric Not For You
{Words & Music: Hazel O Connor}
Don t promise you ll never leave me
Cos, that would be a lie
We don t perceive the change of time
Tomorrow s the throw of the dice
Believe me I have tried for you
As much as I could
But I wouldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you, or for anyone else (for you)
I guess I ve lived alone too long
To make this compromise
I know that this is hurting you
I ve seen that look in your eyes
Oh, write me off as just another one
Who couldn t live up to your ideals
Cos I couldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you, or for anyone else (for you)
So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
To take a walk - blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Don t promise you ll never leave me
Cos, that would be a gross lie
We don t perceive the change of time
Tomorrow s the throw of the dice
Oh write me off as just another one
Who couldn t live up to your ideals
Cos I wouldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you (not for you)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you, (or for anyone else)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you
Don t promise you ll never leave me
Cos, that would be a lie
We don t perceive the change of time
Tomorrow s the throw of the dice
Believe me I have tried for you
As much as I could
But I wouldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you, or for anyone else (for you)
I guess I ve lived alone too long
To make this compromise
I know that this is hurting you
I ve seen that look in your eyes
Oh, write me off as just another one
Who couldn t live up to your ideals
Cos I couldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you, or for anyone else (for you)
So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
So take a walk - (talk talk talk)
To take a walk - blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
Don t promise you ll never leave me
Cos, that would be a gross lie
We don t perceive the change of time
Tomorrow s the throw of the dice
Oh write me off as just another one
Who couldn t live up to your ideals
Cos I wouldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t (couldn t) I wouldn t (I wouldn t)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you (not for you)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you, (or for anyone else)
I couldn t give up my freedom
Not for you
