Lyrics

Oh, with a mind that renders everything sensitive
What chance do I have here?
Put an end, put an end
Put an end to every dream
When you're near, I fear you
And I forget myself

But not this time
Not this time
Not this time, baby
Not this time

I don't know why I give in, but I do every time
And here I am wondering why I did it again
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay's what I say
To keep me going
To keep the shit away

I don't know what it is
But every time you're near, I fear you
And I forget myself

No, not this time, baby
Not this time, you won't
Not this time, darling
C'mon, we all sing:

Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay, too-ree-o
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay, too-ree-o
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay, too-ree-o
