Lyrics

I won't share you
I won't share you
With the drive and ambition
The zeal I feel
This is my time

The note I wrote
As she read, she said:
 "Has the Perrier gone straight to my head
  Or is life sick and cruel, instead?"

"YES!"

No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no

I won't share you
I won't share you
With the drive
And the dreams inside
This is my time

Life tends to come and go
That's OK as long as you know
Life tends to come and go
As long as you know

Know, know, know, know
Know, know, know, know, know

I won't share you
I won't share you
With the drive
And the dreams inside
This is my time

I want the freedom
And I want the guile
I want the freedom and the guile
Life tends to come and go
As long as you know

Know, know, know, know
No, no, no, no

I won't share you
I won't share you
I'll see you somewhere...
I'll see you sometime, darling...
