No Thanks

16 Years Ago


No thanks.

I am disconsolate and blue
There is no cure without you I am blue
I tell my heart I�m not in love with you.

My heart knows only too well that I lie
So here I sit alone and know I lie
I sometimes think that I would rather die.

Than lose my lover to another man am
Am I a has been just another man?
although I have done everything I can.

To let you know the love I bear for you
It�s always true the love I bear for you.
One of the many men who suffer too.

So now you want to be my girl again
I say NO THANKS I cannot stand the pain.
