Lyrics

Okay we'll go back a bit further
It's not a case of doing what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters
Tell me I'm wrong
I don't really care
It's not a case of share and share alike
I take what I require
I don't understand
You say it's not fair
You expect me to act like a lover
Consider the moves and deserve the reward
To hold you in my arms
And wait
And wait
Wait for something to happen
It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
You call me a liar
You would anyway
It's not a case of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part
In the play for today
Written by: Lol Tolhurst, Matthieu Hartley, Robert James Smith, Simon Gallup
