No Way
Tanaë Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's no way I can fall in love
If it makes me a slave
There's no way I can fall in love
I'd rather dig my grave

Why would you take it for granted that I'm all yours?
Why would you take it for granted that I won't go?

Let me tell you
No way, no way
I won't wait another day
Cause I don't know what to say
When you're begging me to stay
Let me tell you something babe

There's no way I can fall in love
If you don't trust me babe
There's no way I can fall in love
If I lose myself

Why would you take it for granted that I'm all yours?
Why would you take it for granted that I won't go?

Let me tell you
No way, no way
I won't wait another day
Cause I don't know what to say
When you're begging me to stay
Let me tell you something babe

It's going nowhere with you

Let me tell you
No way, no way
I won't wait another day
Cause I don't know what to say
When you're begging me to stay
Let me tell you something babe

No way
