I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this way.

[same as first chorus]
Maybe I'll write them a story
And maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms.
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fall unawake again.

And until you calm me down
I race around this town
until you calm me down
I race around this town
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny
I will not have them treat me this way.

[same as first verse]

So tap at my window,
Maybe I might let you in.
I don't think I will though,
My heart's taken, I won't tell you again.
