Tonio K. - The Rake's Progress

Lyrics

I DON'T LIKE IT
(Tonio K.)

Well, I guess we tried
I thought I knew how it worked but I guess I didn't
I thought it was you and me and that love was forever
I guess that it wasn't and isn't
Yes, and life goes on
Yes, and I'll be strong
But oh, I don't like it

Well, I want to cry
It's a feeling I guess everybody knows
It's a pain so deep and primitive it almost can't be told
When you give your love
But it's not enough
Oh, I don't like it
Oh, I don't like it

Oh God, I want to rewrite this play
Make it happy
Make you love me
Make it go away

But I guess you lied
You said you would and you knew that you probably wouldn't
You said you could when you obviously couldn't
But what a waste of time
Yours and mine
Oh, I don't like it
Oh, I don't like it

Now you're really gone
All our promises like glass on the street that been shattered
I finally get on the power of love but found out sometimes even love doesn't matter
When you love someone
You can't help but run
Oh, I don't like it
Oh, I don't like it
