Lyrics

A true love story is hard to find Can't get no rest, got no peace of mind You say, you gave your heart to me You put me down you set me free You said, you're deadly Everybody said, you was deadly I guess you know he is because, deadly Comes in every shape and size, deadly Always takes you by surprise You said, you was the only one Coming on me and ruin my fun Leave me safe at home all alone Waitin' on your call by the telephone You said, you're deadly (deadly) Everybody said, you was deadly (deadly) Guess you know you always was deadly (deadly) Comes in every shape and size, deadly (deadly) Finally made me realize That I tried and tried, but you just can't get enough So you lied, and lied, and lied, and lied I will not be denied, I'm gonna plant a seed I will not be denied, of the man and the love I need Ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh You said, you're deadly (deadly) Everybody said, you was deadly (deadly) Guess you know you are, because deadly (deadly) Comes in every shape and size, deadly (deadly) Always takes you by surprise It's a sad situation, yes, it's true I can say it, baby, I'm through with you It's over now and in the past Gonna find me a man with a love that'll last You know, he's deadly (deadly) Everybody said, you were deadly (deadly) Guess you know you always been deadly (deadly) Comes in every shape and size, deadly (deadly) Finally made me realize That I tried and tried, but you just couldn't get enough And so you lied, and lied, and lied, and lied And I will not be denied (will not be) (Will not be denied) ooh, will not be denied (You heard us right) Of the love I need, yeah (Will not be) (Will not be denied) ooh I said, I'll Will not be, will not be denied Will not be denied (will not be) (Will not be denied) I Will not be denied I'll tell you one more time (will not be yeah, will not be denied) Will not be denied, yeah I will not be, will not be denied I will not be denied
