If it happens again, I'm leaving 
I'll pack my things and go 
If it happens again 
There'll be no looking back 
And I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so
 
You did what you were told 
And you took the strain 
Been left out in the cold 
Got yourself to blame 
But believe me
If it happens again, I'm leaving 
If it stays the same, I'm gone 
When you're stabbed in the back 
And there's salt in the wound 
The it's time to move along 

If it happens again, I'm leaving 
I'll pack my things and go 
If it happens again 
There'll be no looking back 
And I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so

No more spanners in the works
All the works been done 
Had your face rubbed in the dirt 
On show for every one 
But believe me 
If it happens again, I'm leaving 
If it stays the same, I'm gone 
When compromise is the song that you sing 
It's been going on to long

If it happens again, I'm leaving 
I'll pack my things and go 
If it happens again 
There'll be no looking back 
And I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so

If it happens again, I'm leaving 
I'll pack my things and go 
If it happens again 
There'll be no looking back 
And I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so
If it happens again, I'm leaving 
I'll pack my things and go 
If it happens again 
There'll be no looking back 
And I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so
