lyrics

You told me once
You told me twice
Thinking life has passed you by
Or that it's agony

I told you once
I told you twice
It ain't over till the end
'And I got things to do'

Don't bide your time
Cos time ain't yours or mine
Don't rewind that cassette
Cos who knows what you'll get
Don't even try,
Cos I know you'll be fine
Don't waste your time on that

Don't write yourself off just yet, not yet
Don't write yourself off just yet, not yet
Don't write yourself off just yet, not yet

And your lack of faith is nothing short of tragedy
And I'll try until my dying breath to make you see
And your lack of faith is nothing short of tragedy
And I'll try until my dying breath to make you see
And your lack of faith is nothing short of tragedy
And I'll try until my dying breath to make you see
And your lack of faith is nothing short of tragedy
And I'll try until my dying breath to make you see

Don't bide your time
Cos time ain't yours or mine
Don't rewind that cassette
Cos who knows what you'll get
Don't even try,
Cos I know you'll be fine
Don't waste your time on that
Don't write yourself off just yet, not yet
