  • This whole routine is getting old
    So am I
    And so are you
    My reputation lets me know
    I can do whatever I want to
    Though it seems that you believe
    You can do whatever it is you please,
    Not before, not before you wind up on your knees

    [Chorus]
    Don't cry to me no more
    You like the way the people stare at you
    And now you look so fake
    Just thought that you should know
    Your all the same
    And when the curtain drops down
    You'll be replaced by something typical

    You set yourself up to be sold
    And that's OK cause that's your role
    Manipulation takes its toll
    Will you do, no body wants you
    Though it seems that you believe
    You can do whatever it is you please,
    Not before, not before you wind up on your knees

    [Chorus]

    I know I stood so long beside you
    And I know I should have left you right where I had found you
    I know I stood so long beside you
    And I know I should have left you right where I had found you

    [Chorus: x2] Writer/s: RONNIE WINTER
