  I can't do this it's just not in me 

And I could see by your smile
What you wanted, what you wanted
Oh capture drops in your mind and in the champagne
There's no secrets, no more secrets
And so have those knives been thrown
Curses flying, curses flying
Your mouth wrapped to his face
Too bad it's too late
Oh my my well just too late
And you don't know, you don't know
What you've been doing, 
Oh no no no no no no
I can't do this, I can't do this
It's just not in me and

I'm saying stop the car
Tell the driver to, tell the driver
It's just not gonna happen and 
Sorry to waste your time
Going back now, going back now
I get out of the car
And I walk back to the party, 
New years' party with all the laughing, and now
Too bad it's too late
Oh my my well just too late
And you don't know, you don't know
What you've been doing,
   C        D        G
Oh no no no no no no
