A tender love song featuring Brian May of Queen. The only track from the original recording sessions of One by One (dubbed “Million Dollar Demos”) to end on the final album.
The song is a solemn ode to falling out of love, but trying to hard to convince himself otherwise.
[Verse 1]
I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by
The diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
But is this just desire or the truth?
[Pre-Chorus]
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
[Chorus]
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I'm not gettin' tired
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I'm not gettin' tired
[Verse 2]
Hangin' on this wire
Waiting for the day I have to choose
Cursed by love so dire
One more boy for hire
One more boy to lend a hand to you
But is this just desire or the truth?
[Pre-Chorus]
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
[Chorus]
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I'm not gettin' tired
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I'm not gettin' tired
[Post-Chorus]
Of you
Of you, oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 1]
I can be your liar
I can be your bearer of bad news
Sick and uninspired by the
Diamonds in your fire
Burning like a flame inside of you
But is this just desire or the truth?
[Pre-Chorus]
So shame on me for the ruse
Shame on me for the blues
Another one returned that I'll never use
[Chorus]
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I'm not gettin' tired
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I won't go gettin' tired of you
I'm not gettin' tired
Of you
