The Bangles - James

I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James.
It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.
You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing through.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down.
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore.
And now I realize
I had it all wrong
I'll only take this
Trip for so long.
Woe, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James.
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot on the train
And I must be a masochist
To ever take up with you, James.
It sounds familiar
That tone in your voice
You're gonna quit, James
You leave me no choice.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
Well, it wasn't so long ago
I saw love in your eyes
And I think I should've known
But I'm feelin' somewhat surprised.
You think there's someone
Better for you
You think I'm too young
To see this thing through.
Oh, James
Letting me down again, James.
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down, down
(Ooh, let me down) let me down, down, down, down
(Ooh, let me down) down.
I knew it'd turn out like this
I'm keeping one foot out the door
And I don't think I should trust
That kind of love anymore.
And now I realize
I had it all wrong
I'll only take this
Trip for so long.
Woe, James
Letting me down again, James
Guess this is goodbye again, James
Letting me down again
Letting me down again, James.
