  • I've always said that one's enough to love
    Now I hear you're bragging one is not enough
    Something tells me you're not satisfied
    You got plans to make me one of four or five

    I guess this kind of thing's just in your blood
    But you won't catch me carving up my love
    I ain't no puzzle piece that needs to fit
    If it takes more than me let's call it quits

    [Chorus]
    Cause I don't want to go on with you like that
    Don't want to be a feather in your cap
    I just want to tell you honey I ain't mad
    But I don't want to go on with you like that

    It gets so hard sometimes to understand
    This vicious circle's getting out of hand
    Don't need an extra eye to see
    That the fire spreads faster in a breeze

    [Chorus]

    No I don't want to go on with you like that
    One more set of boots on your welcome mat
    You'll just have to quit them if you want me back
    cause I don't want to go on with you like that

    Oh if you want to spread it around sister that's just fine
    But I don't want no second hand feeding me lines
    If you want to hold someone in the middle of the night
    Call out the guards, turn out the light Writer/s: BERNIE TAUPIN, ELTON JOHN
