Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You just stepped into the main track

Climbed down off the fence

Words are your weapon, lies are your defence

I know what you want and I see what you see

You're looking for somebody, but he isn't me

Find yourself another

We will not be lovers

[Verse 2]

How your eyes are like torches, your presence is bliss

I never knew time could speed and zip like this

The touch of your flesh is tough to resist

Planets collide, collide, collide at the smack of your kiss

But you can kiss your brother

Because we will not be lovers, no

[Verse 3]

Now you're pulling down curtains

Sparking old flames

Causing disturbance

Crying for shame

Rapping on doors

Abusing my name

Casting off doubt

Throwing your blame

But you can throw it at your mother, at your mother

Because we will not be lovers

[Verse 4]

Now the world's full of trouble, everybody's scared

The landlords are frowning, cupboards are bare

People are scrambling like dogs for a share

It's cruel and it's hard, but it's nothing compared to

What we do to each other, to each other

[Verse 5]

We will not be lovers, no, no, no

We will not be lovers

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
