Won't you please let me go? These words lie inside they hurt me so And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you Just what I want to do I'm not the kind that needs to tell you Just what you, want me to I saw you this morning, I thought that you might like to know I received your message in full a few days ago I understood every word that it said And now that I've actually heard it, you're going to regret And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you Just what you want me to You're not the kind that needs to tell me About the birds and the bees Do you find this happens all the time? Crucial point one day becomes a crime And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you Just what I want to do I'm not the kind that needs to tell you, ooh-ooh I've lost you, I've lost you I've lost you, I've lost you I've lost you Lost you, I've lost you I've lost you, I've lost you I've lost you Lost you, I've lost you I've lost you, I've lost you I've lost you Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh!
