I gave you my soul
Well, no more
Now I'll kiss your eyes
No more

How I trusted you!
Now I ask what for
You were life to me
But, no more

Well, you had your chance

[ENSEMBLE]
No more

[JOE]
Now I'll play the fool

[ENSEMBLE]
No more

[JOE]
How I needed love
But you closed the door
Oh, you'll laugh at me
No more
How I bled for you!
No more
Shed my skin for you!
No more

Oh, I worshipped you
That you can't ignore
But I ain't your slave
No more

[JOE & ENSEMBLE]
Well, you had your way
No more
Well, it ain't your day
No more

Yes, I'm standing up
I ain't on the floor
I ain't bowing down
No more

I ain't gonna cry
No more
No, I ain't gonna cry
No more
[JOE]
I just wanted love
Why'd it turn to war?
I ain't bowing down

[JOE & ENSEMBLE]
I ain't bowing down
I ain't bowing down
I ain't bowing down
I ain't bowing down

[JOE]
No more

[ENSEMBLE]
I ain't bowing down no more
I ain't bowing down no more
I ain't bowing down no more
I ain't bowing down no more
I ain't bowing down
I said, I ain't bowing down
No bowing, bowing down
No bowing, bowing down
No bowing, bowing down
No more
No more
I ain't gonna cry no more
I ain't gonna cry no more
[JOE]
Yes, I'm standing up
I ain't on the floor
I ain't gonna cry no more

[ENSEMBLE]
No more
No more
I ain't bowing
I ain't bowing
I ain't bowing
I ain't bowing
I ain't bowing down
I ain't bowing down
I ain't bowing down
I ain't bowing down
I ain't bowing down no more

I ain't bowing down no more
