Not Interested

You come at me with a smiling face and a gentle kiss
You hold me in your arms with a temporary bliss
Your naivete never seems to get you far
Perhaps you'd work much better if you were who you are
COME ON - tell me that I am your focus
COME ON - tell me that this is not hopeless
COME ON - you and I both know it's bogus
This is hocus pocus

You're asking me to save you
You're begging me to tame you
You want me to make room in my heart
Sorry - not interested
You're hurting yourself for my attention
And you've forgotten to mention
You've already split yourself apart
Sorry - not interested

You called me up the other day and hung the phone back up
You wrote to me and told me I should keep in touch
How many other people are longing for your love?
How many have to burn before you've had enough?
COME ON - tell me you know what you're doing
COME ON - tell me the caged bird still has wings
COME ON - you and I both know it's nothing
So just give me something

You're asking me to save you
You're begging me to tame you
You want me to make room in my heart
Sorry - not interested
You're hurting yourself for my attention
And you've forgotten to mention
You've already split yourself apart
Sorry - not interested

Like an octopus's tentacles
You reach out and squeeze your victims
But when they fight back for their life
You try to make them feel wrong
But I've got my own set of spectacles
And I know you're the one that did this
You may die believing you were right
But I've known the truth all along

Reverse psychology
Not gonna work on me
The pain you inflicted
Left me uninterested
You try to turn it around
You can't get off the ground
God you're so limited
Sorry, I'm not interested
