I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive
the and ambition
and the zeal I feel
this is my time
as the note I wrote
was as she read, she said
has the Perrier gone
straight to my head
or is life plainly sick and cruel, instead?
"YES!"
No-no-no-no-no-no
no-no-no-no-no-no
I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive
and the dreams inside
this is my time
Life tends to come and go
well, that's OK
just as long as you know
Life tends to come and go
well, that's OK
just as long as you know
know know know know
know know know know know
I won't share you
I won't share you
with the drive
and the dreams inside
this is my time
this is my time
I want the freedom and I want the guile
I want the freedom and the guile
Life tends to come and go
As long as you know
know know know know
know know know know
I won't share you
I won't share you
I'll see you somewhere
I'll see you sometime...
