You're not dreaming. Yes, it's true
I wanna start my life anew
It's a knot that you can't undo
There's no remedy for this flu

It may come to you as a blow
But I can't have you steppin' on my toes
Your true being is starting to show
Should have done this a long time ago

Don't know about you, but I'm on my way
I'm not going back, I'm not going to stay
Don't know about you, but I'm on my way
You're holding me back. Had to leave, some day

What makes you think I'm your property?
You're a sissy writing on poetry
Won't keep me under your lock and key
Prepare yourself for reality

It should be understood that I said no
It's not my problem if you can't let go
Wanna get rid of this shadow
And find myself a brand new beau

Don't know about you, but I'm on my way
I'm not going back, I'm not going to stay
Don't know about you, but I'm on my way
You're holding me back. Had to leave, some day

It's affection that you like to crave
I'm not prepared to be your slave
No longer wanna be one of your babes
Won't be dragging me into your grave

Can't you see that I've lost interest?
So, take your twiggy twigs from this nest
'Cause you're beginning to be a pest
This is something that I won't regret

Don't know about you, but I'm on my way
I'm not going back, I'm not going to stay
Don't know about you, but I'm on my way
You're holding me back. Had to leave, some day

Don't know about you, but I'm on my way
I'm not going back, I'm not going to stay
Don't know about you, but I'm on my way
You're holding me back. Had to leave, some day
