I don't belong I'm still around Won't steal you like a radio I'm still around I won't be long Gonna treat you like an angel But don't say you love me Strange things that make me die Dance 'til we're high, you're shy Don't say you'll cry I told you lies I'm still around Won't steal your act my angel I won't be long It's still your round Or serialize the radio But don't say you love me Strange things that make me die Dance 'til we're high, you're shy Don't say you'll cry Don't go on I see your eyes I screw you 'round my angel You're still my love It's in your eyes Our song is on the radio But don't say you love me Strange things that make me die Dance 'til we're high you're shy Don't say you'll cry Don't say you love me Don't say you'll cry Don't say you'll cry, I'm high Don't say you'll cry
