And I just don?t do things by halves
So come now please don?t make me laugh
The wicked lay stones in my path
And friends who are snakes in the grass
I felt the warmth of you in summer days gone by
The waves they rock the boat
You smiled at me and closed your eyes

I won?t bow down, I won?t kow tow
Won?t be seen to, won?t be lied to
I won?t turn tail, won?t be blackmailed by you

And I can see through you like glass
So come now please don?t make me laugh

I hear the country church bells ring for you
I see the church choir rise and sing for you
But I?ll be leaving soon, I?m off at high noon
I?ve got a heavy heart, we touch a long past

I won?t bow down, I won?t kow tow
Won?t be seen to, won?t be lied to
I won?t turn tail, won?t be blackmailed
But if you think of me
Think something sweet of me

I look around in rage
There?s nothing left
There?s nothing saved
Some memories, a photograph
The future looms, so damn the past

I don?t want you, I don?t need you
I won?t bow down, I won?t kow tow
I won?t turn tail, I won?t be blackmailed
Won?t be seen to, won?t be lied to
Ohh, ooh, ooh
