You're going to have to save yourself this time, darlin'

You're going to have to find a soft heart in someone else

'Cause I almost drowned coming to your rescue

This time around you're going to have to save yourself

I'm all out of rope and I'm all out of reasons

You had me thinking I could help, that you needed a friend

One little white lie and it all looks deceiving

You keep going back out over your head again

But you're going to have to save yourself this time, darlin'

You're going to have to find a soft heart in someone else

'Cause I'm not going to drown coming to your rescue

This time around you're going to have to save yourself

You can knock on the door, you can rattle all the windows

You can howl like a dog, but you're not coming in

I'm anybody's fool 'til I learn how the game goes

And I will never be your fool again

'Cause you're going to have to save yourself this time, darlin'

You're going to have to find a soft heart in someone else

'Cause I'm not going to drown coming to your rescue

This time around you're going to have to save yourself

This time you're going to have to save yourself
