Lyrics
I DO BUT I DON?T
verse
He broke my fall with a promise - ?I?ll see you again some time?
The coffee cup just swallowed up his words
His idea of commitment is nowhere close to mine
Its funny how relationships can turn
chorus
And he said...
If you ever need a friend just call me
I said - I will - but I won?t
He said if you still need someone to lean on count on me
And I said - I do - but I don?t
verse
My friends all think that I?m crazy - I should get some self respect Stop letting him walk all over me
He wrote me off in a minute - like some cancelled cheque
I don?t want him and I don?t want sympathy
chorus
bridge
He?s the kind that comes just to go away
He?s got a short term philosophy
No promises no strings attached
It?s his thirty day guarantee
chorus
