Jimmy Nail - Ain't No Doubt (Growing Up in Public)
Ain't no doubt
she says 'it's not you - it's me
I need a little time, a little space
a place to find myself again
you know?'
oh yes, I know a goodbye when I hear
it she smiles
but her heart's already out there
walking down the street
she says
'I don't want nobody else
I love you', she's lying
'there won't be somebody else
and that's true'
she's lying
'say you'll always be my friend
sweet darling'
why does she pretend?
ain't no doubt, it' plain to see
a woman like you's no good for me
your heart's beating at another door
I'm a damned fool for to ask for more
she says
'it's like in a song, remember?
"if you love someone, set them free"
well, that's how it is for me
and then she kisses me
and somewhere I hear a door slam
so I say 'fine'
and just hope that I'm a better liar
than she is
she says
'I don't want nobody else
I love you'.
she's lying
'say you'll always be my friend
sweet darling'
why does she pretend?
ain't no doubt, it' plain to see
a woman like you's no good for me
your heart's beating at another
door I'm a damned fool for to ask
for more ain't no doubt, it's
plain to see
a woman like you's no good for me
your heart's beating at another
door I'm a damned fool for to ask
for more
'I don't want nobody else
I love you'
she's lying
'there won't be somebody else
and that's true'
she's lying
'say you'll always be my friend
sweet darling'
why does she pretend?
ain't no doubt, it' plain to see
a woman like you's no good for me
your heart's beating at another
door I'm a damned fool for to ask
for more ain't no doubt, it's
plain to see
a woman like you's no good for me
your heart's beating at another
door I'm a damned fool for to ask
for more
