She had something to confess to But you don't have the time So look the other way You will wait until it's over To reveal what you'd never shown her Too little much too late Too long trying to resist it You've just gone and missed it It's escaped your world Can you see that I am needing And begging for so much more Than you could ever give And I don't want you to adore me Don't want you to ignore me When it pleases you Yeah, and I'll do it on my own I have played in every toilet But you still want to spoil it To prove I've made a big mistake Too long trying to resist it You've just gone and missed it It's escaped your world Can you see that I am needing And begging for so much more Than you could ever give And I don't want you to adore me Don't want you to ignore me When it pleases you Yeah, and I'll do it on my own And I'll do it all by myself You will never make it
