Take No Chances
Deadline Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't take any chances on me baby
Don't take any chances on me.

I'm not the one you want,
I'm not the one who'll say I love you,
I'm not the one who'll say I'll stay.

I just want you out of my life,
I said to you once, I won't say it twice




I don't want your shit anymore,
I know what you want, I've seen it before
