lyrics

They say good things take time, they say your time will come
And if it’s right, it’s right, don’t fight it
You’ll find your one
But I wanna know who made these rules, sucked in to the game and played for fools
Let me tell you I’m doing damn fine on my own
Tapping my shoulder
‘Doll, you’re only getting older
Don’t you wanna lay those foundations down
Right about now?’

No, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no
No, no, no, no, no

I’m doing what I want, I’m doing what I please
And I don’t need your smile, dial back dear – I dressed up for me
We dance, we kiss, we’re having fun
I go to leave, he wants to come
But me, myself, and I is all I need
Hand on my shoulder, and the air it’s getting colder
Whispers, ‘I wanna lay you down
How does that sound?’

No, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Don’t tell me I need anyone but me
No leash, no fence, no cage, no ring
And don’t you frown, no pity please
I know what I want, and I get what I need

No, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
