This is about a woman who is struggling to leave an abusive relationship, but always loses her courage when she sees her lover again. She is determined that it will not happen again, “not this time.”
[Verse 1]
Oh, with a mind that renders everything sensitive
What chance do I have here?
Put an end, put an end
Put an end to every dream
[Pre-Chorus 1]
When you're near, I feel you
And I forget myself
[Chorus 1]
But not this time
Not this time
Not this time, baby
Not this time
[Verse 2]
I don't know why I give in, but I do every time
And here I am wondering why I did it again
"Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-ay", I say
You keep me going, you keep the shit away
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't know what it is, every time you're near, I feel you
And I forget myself
[Chorus 2]
No, not this time, baby
Not this time, you won't
Not this time
Not this time, darling
[Outro]
Come on, we all sing
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
No, no, not this time, baby
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
No, no, no, not this time, you won't
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Not this time, baby
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
No, ha-ha-hey, not this time, yeah
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Too-re-ay, too-re-o, too-re-o-o
Yeah, yeah
