I Won't Look Back

One time bitten, two times shy
It was written there in letters ten feet high
That this woman loves that man
And even the biggest fool could understand

But then your blue eyes turned grey
You spoke a lot but had nothing to say

So I won't look back
I won't look back
You had all of me there for the taking
But men like you can't help just breaking
Down the roses
And trampling them flat

Mm, one time bitten, two times shy
It's true, I was smitten then, and you know why
You charmed me right out off my feet
Using your beautiful smile so bittersweet

Mm, but then your blue eyes turned grey
You spoke so much but had nothing to say

So I won't look back
I won't look back
Even though I know you really tried to love me
It's just not enough, you felt obliged to shove me
In a corner babe, and, hey, I won't take that

I gave you my best but you blew it
You threw it back at me
You can't have the rest
'Cause that's a private property

So I won't look back
Oh, I won't look back
Now every time I think I see you in the distance
I call on all of my resistance
And tell myself, "Hey girl, don't you cry"
No, I won't look back
No, I won't look back
'Cause even though I know you really tried to love me
It's just not enough, you couldn't help but shove me
In a corner, babe
