We first met in the winter Said "let's give it a try" I swallowed my fears A couple of years Just living a lie I'd just come from the country Wide-eyed and naive I signed on the line I signed a long time Now you won't let me leave But you don't take no for an answer You don't take no for an answer You don't take no for an answer When you've nothing to lose No you don't take no for an answ You don't take no for an answerer You don't take no for an answer Put yourself in my shoes I don't want any trouble I ain't after a fight But well-respected man Please understand man You're standing in my light No use sticking together I've gotta get out and get off I offered you a slice You told me no dice Cause you wanted the lot But you don't take no for an answer You don't take no for an answer You don't take no for an answer When you've nothing to lose No you don't take no for an answ You don't take no for an answerer You don't take no for an answer Put yourself in my shoes
