lyrics

Don't call me kid.
I'm not your little sweet girl.
And if you think you want to be with me,
Treat me like a woman,
Making her way across the world.

Don't you put those arms around me.
I'd rather let these shoulders get cold,
Than to get too close
And sway to the rhythm of a heart of fool's gold.

I'd rather be lonely.
I've got better things to do.
Than to waste my time,
What's the point of falling in love, if it isn't true.

So, baby, you're not the one.
But, maybe you're still a pretty nice guy.
Sure, I could hold you fast,
You could tell me everything would last,
But it would all be a beautiful lie.

Well, sometimes, you're the spaniel.
And, sometimes, you're the man.
Well, I don't want to walk in front,
I don't want to walk behind.
I want to march hand in hand.

I'd rather be lonely.
I've got better things to do.
Than to waste my time,
What's the point of falling in love,
Wild and crazy in love,
Madly and stupid in love,
If it's only with you.
