[Verse 1]
And here we go, here we go, back to basics
Another round of all the things I've heard before
I'm staying low, staying low, turning pages
I thought I killed you, now you're knocking at my door

[Pre-Chorus]
But I'm gonna get right
What will it take this time
To shut you up?
Love like a lead pipe
The cold and callous type
I hate your guts

[Chorus]
And I'm never gonna
Give you what you want me to give
You'll never play, won't let you play me again
I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in
So I won't let you win

[Verse 2]
And here we go, here we go, down a dead-end road
Another lesson in confession like I sold my soul
I wanna know, wanna know how that story goes
Cause if we're betting then I'm guessing that you're blowing smoke
You're going on and on and on
Telling me all the things I'm not
You're going on and on and on
But by the end of the night, you'll be gone

[Chorus]
And I'm never gonna
Give you what you want me to give
You'll never play, won't let you play me again
I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in
So I won't let you win
And I'm never gonna
Give you what you want me to give
You'll never play, won't let you play me again
I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in
So I won't let you win, I won't let you win

[Bridge]
I'm gonna get right
What will it take this time
To shut you up?

I'm gonna get right
I'm gonna get right
Love like a lead pipe
Love like a-
[Chorus]
And I'm never gonna
Give you what you want me to give
You'll never play, won't let you play me again
I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in
So I won't let you win
And I'm never gonna
Give you what you want me to give
You'll never play, won't let you play me again
I know you'll try to cheat me if I let you in
So I won't let you win, I won't let you win
