And I just don't do things by halves   So come now please don't make me laugh   The wicked lay stones in my path   And friends who are snakes in the grass   I felt the warmth of you in summer days gone by   The waves they rock the boat   You smiled at me and closed your eyes      I won't bow down, I won't kow tow   Won't be seen to, won't be lied to   I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed by you      And I can see through you like glass   So come now please don't make me laugh      I hear the country church bells ring for you   I see the church choir rise and sing for you   But I'll be leaving soon, I'm off at high noon   I've got a heavy heart, we touch a long past      I won't bow down, I won't kow tow   Won't be seen to, won't be lied to   I won't turn tail, won't be blackmailed   But if you think of me   Think something sweet of me      I look around in rage   There's nothing left   There's nothing saved   Some memories, a photograph   The future looms, so damn the past      I don't want you, I don't need you   I won't bow down, I won't kow tow   I won't turn tail, I won't be blackmailed   Won't be seen to, won't be lied to   Ohh, ooh, ooh
