I Won't Look Back

One time bitten, two times shy It was written there in letters ten feet high That this woman loves that man And even the biggest fool could understand But then your blue eyes turned grey You spoke a lot but had nothing to say So I won't look back I won't look back You had all of me there for the taking But men like you can't help just breaking Down the roses And trampling them flat Mm, one time bitten, two times shy It's true, I was smitten then, and you know why You charmed me right out off my feet Using your beautiful smile so bittersweet Mm, but then your blue eyes turned grey You spoke so much but had nothing to say So I won't look back I won't look back Even though I know you really tried to love me It's just not enough, you felt obliged to shove me In a corner babe, and, hey, I won't take that I gave you my best but you blew it You threw it back at me You can't have the rest 'Cause that's a private property So I won't look back Oh, I won't look back Now every time I think I see you in the distance I call on all of my resistance And tell myself, "Hey girl, don't you cry" No, I won't look back No, I won't look back 'Cause even though I know you really tried to love me It's just not enough, you couldn't help but shove me In a corner, babe
