Lyrics
Introduction:
It's not going to go your way this time,
It's not going to go your way.
It's not going to go your way this time,
It's not going to go your way.
Over Introduction and Choruses:
It's my way or no way
No way at all
It's my way or no way
No way at all.
Verse One:
My eyes have finally opened,
To see what I've become.
A puppet for you to master,
All in the name of love.
You controlled my every movement,
I'm not your Barbie doll.
You tried to own my heart,
I couldn't breathe at all.
Chorus:
It's not gonna go your way this time,
Keep tellin' you what's on my mind.
You're fillin' me with all your lines,
It's not gonna go your way.
It's not gonna go your way this time,
You gotta get me off your mind.
I'm tellin' you it's time to go,
It's not gonna go your way.
Verse Two:
What we had was all an illusion,
I gave, but ya eyes are closed.
Like a gem that's on display,
I'm just a world away.
Stop - Did you hear what I'm sayin'
I'm not changin', hope you understand.
I have to play by my rules,
Listen, I just don't care.
Chorus:
It's not gonna go your way this time,
Keep tellin' you what's on my mind.
You're fillin' me with all your lines,
It's not gonna go your way.
It's not gonna go your way this time,
You gotta get me off your mind.
I'm tellin' you it's time to go,
It's not gonna go your way.
Repeat Introduction:
It's not gonna go your way this time,
Keep tellin' you what's on my mind.
You're fillin' me with all your lines,
It's not gonna go your way.
Over 'repeat introduction' lines:
It's not your way
It's my way, yeah.
Bridge:
All your controllin' ways
Can't have a hold on me.
Keep all your promises,
You cannot mess with me.
It's not gonna go your way this time.
It's not gonna go your way this time.
It's not your way...
It's my way...
It's not your way...
It's my way...
Running line:
Can't keep me
Just to treat me badly
Always never let me, have my own say
One day boy you'll want me back.
Been keepin'
Too mistreatin'
Boy you'll never leave me weepin'
Always strong, I can't be wrong.
It's not gonna go your way.
