Not for You - Hazel O'Connor

Don’t promise you’ll never leave me

Cos, that would be a lie

We don’t perceive the change of time

Tomorrow’s the throw of the dice

Believe me I have tried for you

As much as I could

But I wouldn’t (couldn't) I wouldn’t (I wouldn’t)

I couldn’t (couldn't) I wouldn’t (I wouldn’t)

I couldn’t give up my freedom

Not for you, or for anyone else (for you)

I guess I’ve lived alone too long

To make this compromise

I know that this is hurting you

I’ve seen that look in your eyes

Oh, write me off as just another one

Who couldn’t live up to your ideals

Cos I couldn’t (couldn't) I wouldn’t (I wouldn’t)

I couldn’t (couldn't) I wouldn’t (I wouldn’t)

I couldn’t give up my freedom

Not for you, or for anyone else (for you)

So take a walk — (talk talk talk)

So take a walk — (talk talk talk)

So take a walk — (talk talk talk)

To take a walk — blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Don’t promise you’ll never leave me

Cos, that would be a gross lie

We don’t perceive the change of time

Tomorrow’s the throw of the dice

Oh write me off as just another one

Who couldn’t live up to your ideals

Cos I wouldn’t (couldn't) I wouldn’t (I wouldn’t)

I couldn’t (couldn't) I wouldn’t (I wouldn’t)

I couldn’t give up my freedom

Not for you (not for you)

I couldn’t give up my freedom

Not for you, (or for anyone else)

I couldn’t give up my freedom

Not for you
