you said that you would not love me last summer 

and you said that you would not love me last spring 

but i hoped that you would change your mind by autumn 

especially when i bought that diamond ring 

but you still said no 

you would not have me 

you still said no, no, no 



i heard that you've been sleeping with your old friends 

and i heard when each one left, and broke your heart 

i told you then that i would never leave you 

i told you that i loved you from the start 

you still said no 

you wouldn't have me 

you still said no, no, no 



even though you haven't any answers 

you still think that you don't need anyone 

to save you from the mess that you've created 

and even when i gave my only son 

you still said no 

you wouldn't have me 

you still said no, no, no
