Never took a penny
Never told a lie
You made me so unhappy
Now I'm goin' to make you cryYou hit me hard
Hard as hell
You may as well
Have left me as for deadI helped you play the fish
I never steered you wrong
Whatever you might wish
You know it's been my songIt took a long long time to become myselfWith your american gift
Where there is money and skill
You gave another twist
To the proverbial screwI should have looked deeper
Deeper still
Into your very soulI gave you what was mine
Your wanting more belies
The fact that you've got dollar signs
In both your little eyesI will cut out
The dead wood
The bad rot
Or find another loveMercenary people
Messing with my heart
Nasty little devils
Always interfere with oursI will survive
Despite you
I liked you
But now I'm on my ownI'm making merry music
I don't want to be sad
I've had a lot of trouble
But I'm not gonna stay madI will step out
All night
It feels right
To be on my ownAll night
It feels right
To be on my ownI will step out
All night
It feels right
To be on my ownI'm making merry music
I don't want to be sad
I've had a lot of trouble
But I'm not gonna stay madI will step out
All night
It feels right
To be on my own ...
