You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin'
You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else
'Cause I almost drowned coming to your rescue
This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself
I'm all out of rope, and I'm all out of reasons
You had me thinkin' I could help, that you needed a friend
One little white lie, and it all looks deceivin'
You keep going back out over your head again
You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin'
You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else
'Cause I almost drowned coming to your rescue
This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself
You can knock on the door
You can rattle at the windows
You can howl like a dog, but you're not comin' in
I'm anybody's fool, till I learn how the game goes
And I will never be your fool again
You're gonna have to save yourself this time, darlin'
You're gonna have to find a soft heart in someone else
'Cause I'm not gonna drown coming to your rescue
This time around, you're gonna have to save yourself
