Won't Look Back
Tonia and the Beat Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won't go back

I won't go back, no I won't go back
I won't go back, no I won't go back
I'm closing all the windows and I won't look back
The final closing down of my sweetest dreams
I won't go back, no I won't go back no, no, no
I won't go back, no I won't go back

Don't forget the second door to lock
This will be the final check
No more I can say just look ahead
I know that you can be so sensitive
Well, well you're right
You can not do it
You can not say that I want it more

I won't go back, no I certainly don't want to go back
I won't to go back, no, no I don't want to go back no, no
I won't go back, no I won't go back
I know that you can say I want it closed
Don't know what to say about it
Don't know where to hide behind my words
What I did was right
Look at me I'm still here
I've got no plans

I won't go back, no I won't go back no, no, no, no, no, no
I won't go back, no I won't go back no
Won't go, won't go back now
I won't go back
I heard what you been saying things I know
I want the things I need and then I'll go
No, no I wouldn't say you do

I won't go back, no I won't go back now
No, no, no I won't go back
No I won't go back

I won't go back now, no, no I won't go back now




Won't, won't no, won't go back now
Go back now
