Oh yeah...
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah...
Here we are in a room full of broken hearts.
Lovers once,
but in the end,
we never really had a chance.
You wanted to be free,
now that your lonely,
you want me back again.
Ah-ah-ah...
But I'm not gonna be the one that you call.
Not gonna take the fall
for all the your indecision.
I'm not gonna put my back to the wall.
I'm not gonna take the fall
for all the pain you've given.
Me and you,
we were a dream
that never could come true.
In time you'll see,
that our love,
was never really meant to be.
And if you discover
you need a lover,
someone to break your fall.
Well, I'm not gonna be the one that you call.
Not gonna take the fall
for all your indecision.
I'm not gonna put my back to the wall.
Not gonna take the fall
for all the pain you've given.
Ay-ah-yi
yaddah-yi
yaddah-yi-yi-yi...
Ay-ah-yi
yaddah-yi
yaddah-yi-yi-yi-yi-yi
Oh, you wanted to be free,
now that your lonely,
You want me after all,
oh-oh-oh...
but I'm not gonna be the one that you call,
Not gonna take the fall for all your indecision.
Not gonna put my back to the wall.
Oh-oh-oh...
Not gonna take the fall,
for all the pain you've given me.
Not gonna be the one that you call,
not gonna take the fall...
not gonna put my back to the wall,
not gonna take the fall...(lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1976)

Chorus: Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me.
Darlin' if you want me to be closer to you, get closer to me.
Darlin' if you want me to love, love only you, then love only me.
Darlin' if you want me to see, see only you, then see only me.
Boy: There's a line, I can't cross over. It's no good for me and it's no good for you.
Girl: And there's a feelin', deep down inside me. I can't explain it and you're wondering why.
You say we've been like strangers, but I'm not the others you can wrap 'round your fingers.
(chorus)
Boy: There's a time, I when I would come runnin'. I'd drop everything for the touch of your hand in mine.
Girl: You were blind and now you regret it, 'cause I can't forget it. It's locked in my mind.
And I can't go on livin' day to day wondering if we'll be here tomorrow.
People change and you're changin'. And I've given you my all, there's no more to borrow.
(chorus)
