I will never love you
Do what you will.
I will never lick you
The way I do so well.
You now weaken your voice
Ah, hey.
I will never talk to you
Do what you will.
You will never make me smile
The way you did so well.
You now meet with your boys
Ah, hey.
Most of all I will never cry.
My thoughts will never turn to you.
Ill walk through this world making little girls happy.
But not you, no not you.
Do what you will.
Do what you will.
Do what you will.
Do what you will.
You will do what you will.
You will do what you will.
Do what you will.
Do what you will.
