emma topping - no thank you john lyrics

Loading...

i never said i loved you, john:
why will you tease me, day by day
and wax a weariness to think upon
with always “do” and “pray”?

you know i never loved you, john;
no fault of mine made me your toast:
why will you haunt me with a face as wan
as shows an hour+old ghost?

i dare say meg or moll would take
pity upon you, if you’d ask:
and pray don’t remain single for my sake
who can’t perform that task

i have no heart?—perhaps i have not;
but then you’re mad to take offence
that i don’t give you what i have not got:
use your common sense

let bygones be bygones:
don’t call me falsе, who owed not to be true:
i’d rathеr answer “no” to fifty johns
than answer “yes” to you

let’s mar our pleasant days no more
song+birds of passage, days of youth:
catch at to+day, forget the days before:
i’ll wink at your untruth
let us strike hands as hearty friends;
no more, no less: and friendship’s good:
only don’t keep in view ulterior ends
and points not understood

in open treaty. rise above
quibbles and shuffling off and on:
here’s friendship for you if you like; but love,—
no, thank you, john
