close enough to start a war,
all that i have is on the floor,
god only knows what we're fighting for,
all that i say, you always say more,

i can't keep up with your turning tables,
under your thumb, i can't breathe,

so i won't let you close enough to hurt me,
no, i won't ask you, you to just desert me,
i can't give you the heart you think you gave me,
it's time to say goodbye to turning tables,
to turning tables,

under honest guise i see, ooh,
where love is lost, your ghost is found,
i braved a hundred storms to leave you,
as hard as you try, no, i will never be knocked down,
i can't keep up with your turning tables,
under your thumb, i can't breathe,

so i won't let you close enough to hurt me, no, i won't ask you, you to just desert me,
i can't give you what you think you gave me,
it's time to say goodbye to turning tables,
turning tables,

next time i'll be braver,
i'll be my own savior,
when the thunder calls for me,
next time i'll be braver,
i'll be my own savior,
standing on my own two feet,

i won't let you close enough to hurt me,
no, i won't ask you, you to just desert me,
i can't give you what you think you gave me,
it's time to say goodbye to turning tables,
to turning tables,
turning tables, yeah,
turning, oh.
