You don't know just what I'm made of
Sweetie, I'm not made of sticks-and-stones
No, I get by on my very own
So you think you'll blow me away
With your eloquently structured speech
Then you must've mistaken me for someone else
Ohh no-no ohh
Open up your eyes and see that
I'm the one that got away, cause
I can't take your
No, I can't stand your criticizing eyes all over me
So don't you mistake my kindness for weakness, sugar
Cause I won't be your fool
No-no no-no no-no
Ohh oh
Just because others come flocking to you
You expect me on my hands-and-knees
Screaming, crying, begging, pleading
For your touch
For your love
But I don't want your touch
No, I don't want your love
No, I don't want you
No, I don't want you
Open up your eyes and see that
I'm the one that got away, cause
I can't take your
No, I can't stand your criticizing eyes all over me
So don't you mistake my kindness for weakness, sugar
Cause I won't be your fool
Yeah, I used to be the nice girl
That everyone knew would keep her cool
Now I know I'm still the nice girl
But if you keep pushing buttons the way you do
I'll make sure you couldn't push one if you wanted to
I can't take your
No, I can't stand your criticizing eyes all over me
(No, no) So don't you mistake my kindness for weakness, sugar
Cause I won't be your fool
(I can't take your)
(No, I can't stand your criticizing eyes all over me)
Oh no
No, I won't be your fool
(So don't you mistake my kindness for weakness, sugar)
Oh noo
No, no
No, I won't be your fool
