I don't want to get to know you
Get too close to you though you may want me to
I've been watching you
They've been deceiving you
It gives you an excuse to take some abuse

No one likes to be lied to
Now you lie to me, to protect yourself
Please remember the words we exchanged
How the truth changes shape under strain and I'm stung every time

I don't love you
I don't like you
I dig watch you do and that's all
I don't know you
Don't respect you
Don't expect too much from me or you

And if I had to choose between me or you
I'd choose me though I know I'd lose and be stung every time
Every time
Stinger

Oh oh it's a stinger
It's a bitch
We long spinning welter
A heart with a schism
A bond with a stitch

I don't love you
Don't respect you
Don't expect too much from me or you
I don't know you
I never did
I dig who you were and that's it

If I had to choose between me and you
Though it's the last thing I'd want to do
I won't love you
I won't love you
Stinger... hold
Stinger... hold
