You take from me
So why you holding back?
Boy, why you holding back?
So vacantly
But you won't get away with that
No, you won't get away with that

They don't see what you do to me
From the outside (from the outside)
This can't be what it used to be
From the outside

Tellin' you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
(Won't be, won't be the, won't be, won't be the)
My love won't be the same for you no more
(Won't be, won't be the, won't be, won't be the)
No I won't play this game

Don't wait for me
When you know you did me wrong
I've been holding on too long
Eventually
I'll mend the heart

They don't see what you do to me
From the outside (from the outside)
This can't be what it used to be (no no, no)
From the outside (from the outside)

Tellin' you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
(Won't be, won't be the, won't be, won't be the)
My love won't be the same for you no more
(Won't be, won't be the, won't be, won't be the)
No I won't play this game

No, I'm never gonna give you the time
No, I'm never gonna give you the time
No, I'm never gonna give you the time
No, I'm never gonna give you the time

No, I'm never gonna give you the time
No, I'm never gonna give you the time
No, I'm never gonna give you the time
No, I'm never gonna give you the time (never, never, no)

Hey
Alright now (no, I'm never gonna give you the time)
Oh oh (give you the time, no)
Way too many games, uh, uh ey
No, I'm never gonna give you the time
No, never gonna

I'm telling you right now, I'm telling you right now
No, I won't play this game with you
I'm taking it back now, I'm turning it right round
My love won't be the same for you no more
(Won't be, won't be the, won't be, won't be the)
My love won't be the same for you no more
It won't be the same, it won't be the same
My love won't play this game
