I Won
BROWN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Out of words to say I turned and walked away
Told her not to worry I'd be back another day but I won't
When she sees we're through I know what she'll do
She'll learn to forget me and she'll find somebody new but I won't
I've loved some but she was my only lover I pray I don't hurt her too much
My heart is through but my mind is over
And I can't help this longing for another woman's touch
Mhm time will help erase the tears from her sweet face
If I do the thing I should and clear out of this place but I won't
Mhm know you's foolin' I won't




[ whistle ]
But I won't mhm no I won't
