[Verse 1]
Help me, save me, get back now
I didn't wanna say it again
Oh, you favour the things I return and then show me how
So I didn't want to settle in
Oh, you're feeling left out, you're taking me down
I didn't wanna settle in
But I feel a bit silly just breaking this now
I didn't wanna say it again
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I never want to see your face again
No, I never want to hear your call
I will not be living in that space again
I will not come knocking at your door
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm an international woman of leisure
Oh, you want me to go? Oh, it's my pleasure
And now I can feel the change in the weather
Oh, where I'm going, I know it's much better
[Verse 2]
I wanna tell you where I'm living now
Only wanna show you what it's all about
I found a feeling I can't live without
Oh, and I feel like I've been sleeping now
Look in the mirror, reveal your self-doubt
Turning around was easy somehow
I gave enough to bring myself down
Oh, but it's mine, and I'll take it back now
[Pre-Chorus]
No, I never want to see your face again
No, I never want to hear your call
I will not be living in that space again
I will not be knocking at your door
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm an international woman of leisure
Oh, you want me to go? Oh, it's my pleasure
And now I can feel the change in the weather
Oh, where I'm going, I know it's much better
'Cause I'm an international woman of leisure
Oh, you want me to go? Oh, it's my pleasure
And now I can feel the change in the weather
Oh, where I'm going, I know it's much better
[Bridge]
No more standing on the line
While I'm out here telling time
And my pride's been feeling shy
But my heart is open wide
[Outro]
It's much better
