Where did my self-control go?
Did it rise up from my body
When I answered the phone?
And you told me not to lie to you
And I decided to tell the truth

But I ain't gonna change for nobody at all
I'm starting to like this new love I have found
I don't wanna let this dark companion go
I would rather run myself into the ground

Where did my mind wonder off to?
Found myself yammering all to you
Thought I'd never let those things outside my head
Probably should've kept 'em locked away instead

But I ain't gonna change for nobody at all
I'm starting to like this new love I have found
I don't wanna let this dark companion go
I would rather run myself into the ground

Everyone's watching me
And I'm starting to believe
That I can read everyone's mind
Before I am accused
Your eyes give me the cue
And I am out the door

But I ain't gonna change for nobody at all
I'm starting to like this new love I have found
I don't wanna let this dark companion go
I would rather run myself into the ground
