The Tom Robinson Band Don't Take No For An Answer lyrics

We first met in the winter
Said, "Let's give it a try"
I swallowed my fears
A couple of years just living a lie

I'd just come from the country
Wide eyed and naive
I signed on the line, I signed a long time
Now you won't let me leave but you

Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
When you've nothing to lose, no you

Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Put yourself in my shoes

I don't want any trouble
I ain't after a fight
But well respected man

Please understand, man

You're standing in my light
No use sticking together
I've gotta get out and get off

I offered you a slice
You told me no dice
'Cos you wanted the lot but you

Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
When you've nothing to lose, no you

Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Don't take no for an answer
Put yourself in my shoes
