[Verse 1]
           
Don’t do that

Don’t let me b

[Pre-Chorus]
           
 So let the po

That I think y

       
ou’re happy
             
Half as happy 

             
as you make me

[Verse 2]
           
Don’t make me 

        
the fool
              
A defenceless 

        
little flower
              
In your egos f

      
allen tower
          
I draw the lin

And you crossed it
              
Pulled back my

  
 heart

And you want it
           
Intentions are
