A little song I wrote in the bath one day after I realized a man I fell for was a con-man.
(Imagine an upbeat Motown sound.)
Thought that you could play me
Baby, you're crazy
Your judgement's hazy
If you think that I owe you
I'm breaking away (from you, oh oh)
Yes I'll break away (from you, oh oh)
I'll never ever stay with you (oh no no no, no no no no no, no no no no no, no no no)
You thought I was a token
Baby, you're broken
Dunno what you were smokin'
To make you think that I owe you
I'm breaking away (from you, oh oh)
Yes I'll break away (from you, oh oh)
I'll never ever stay with you (oh no no no, no no no no no, no no no no no, no no no)
But my heart will not be hollow
Life's just too short to wallow
I've done left the city
You'll get no more pity
& today may have some sorrow
but probably not tomorrow
Like Constantine I'll conquer
I'll defeat every monster
I'll never ever stay with you (oh no no no, no no no no no, no no no no no, no no no)
I'm breaking away, I'm breaking away
I've broken away (fadeout)
