Don't Take No for an Answer

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

Don't take no for an answer

Don't take no for an answer

When you've nothing to lose... no you

Don't take no for an answer

Don't take no for an answer

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

Cos you wanted the lot... but you

Don't take no for an answer

Don't take no for an answer

Don't take no for an answer

When you've nothing to lose... no you

Don't take no for an answer

Don't take no for an answer

Don't take no for an answer

Put yourself in my shoes
