Not This Time

Oh, with a mind that renders everything sensitive,
What chance do I have here?
Put an end, put an end,
Put an end to every dream.
When you're near, I fear you,
And I forget myself

But not this time, baby
Not this time
Not this time, baby,
"Not this time"

I don't know why I give in, but I do every time
And here I am wondering why I did it again
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-ay,
That's what I say
To keep me going,
To keep the shit away

I don't know what it is,
Every time you're near, I fear you,
And I forget myself

No, not this time, baby
Not this time, you won't
Not this time
Not this time, darling

C'mon, we all sing:
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-o-ha
Too-ree-ay, too-ree-o, too-ree-o-ha
Not this time, baby
