Boogie-rocker about the ex-gone-bad
Story behind the song
The next best thing to "I Can't Take It No More"
Lyrics
I never thought that the time would come
That we have to say "goodbye".
But after last night's incident
I could just break down and cry.
I lie in bed, and I can't sleep
For hours at a time.
I can't believe that you wanted me
To forget all about this life of crime you lead.
I'm sick and tired of gettin' burned.
But now I take another turn, because...
(Chorus)
You'll never hurt me again.
You'll never hurt me again. No more, no more.
You'll never hurt me again 'cus I won't be there.
You'll never hurt me again.
You'll never hurt me again. Hurt someone else.
You'll never hurt me again 'cus I won't be there.
For all this time that I thought we loved
One another, and then you turned.
'Cus every time we make some plan
Somehow, you leave me burned.
I'm sick and tired of being second best
And I'm sick of "I forgots".
So this is "later, sayonara, goodbye".
Don't go asking for another shot with me.
I'm sick and tired of gettin' burned.
But now I take another turn, because...
(Repeat Chorus)
(spoken)
So now you're gone; I'm all alone.
I have no worries, I have no cares.
There's no more hurtin'; I'm outta here!
(sung) I won't be pullin' out my hairs no more!
(Repeat Chorus/fade out)
