  • You don't wanna turn away this time
    Then why don't you take a different line
    Don't have to be cruel to be kind
    You don't have to lose your mind
    You don't wanna suffer for your art
    You don't wanna vivisect your heart
    And then if you're falling apart
    You're probably trying too hard

    In the dawning light I found you breathless
    But I won't deny I love you helpless

    You don't wanna say what you don't mean
    You still want to paint a figure scene
    You hide in the wings with a lamp
    And cast the shadows on a screen
    You don't wanna sing what you can say
    Well that's quite a hard game to play
    You wanna just say a cliche
    But where there's a will there's a way

    But in the dawning light I found you breathless
    But I won't deny I love you helpless

    Wona, (?)
    Wona
    Wona, (?)
    Wona
    Wona, (?)
    Wona
    Wona, (?)
    Wona, (?)

    In the dawning light I found you breathless
    But I won't deny I love you helpless

    And I will be yours (wona, (?))
    And you will be mine (wona)
    And I will be yours (wona, (?))
    And you will be mine (wona, (?)) Writer/s: BENJAMIN WALTER DAVID LOVETT, EDWARD JAMES MILTON DWANE, EL HADJ BABA MAAL, ESAU MAKATA MWAMWAYA, JOHAN HUGO MIKAEL KARLBERG, MARCUS OLIVER JOHNSTONE MUMFORD, MATTHEW MICHAEL TARO FIELD, WINSTON AUBREY ALADAR MARSHALL
