I don't want to get to know you Get too close to you though you may want me to I've been watching you, they've been deceiving you It gives you an excuse to take some abuse No one likes to be lied to Now you lie to me to protect yourself Please remember the words we exchanged How the truth changes shape under strain And I'm stung every time, oh I don't love you, I don't like you I dig what you do and that's all I don't know you, don't respect you Don't expect too much from me or you And if I had to choose between me and you I'd choose me though I know that I'd lose And be stung every time, every time Stinger, oh oh, it's a stinger It's a bitch We're long spinning welter A heart with a schism, a bond with a stitch I don't love you, don't respect you Don't expect too much from me or you I don't know you, I never did I dig who you were and that's it If I had to choose between me and you Though it's the last thing that I'd want to do I won't love you, I won't love you Stinger hold, stinger hold, stinger hold
