about

A classic tale of unrequited love, where the protagonist can't really shake the person who won't take "no" for an answer.

lyrics

It Didn’t Take, Outside My Door
It Didn’t Take, It’s Three Am
It Didn’t Take, He’s Ringing My Bell
It Didn’t Take, Now I’m Back In Hell

He Said I Ain’t Goin To The Shack
I Said “Baby Why You Treat Me Like That”
So I’m Thinking This Guy’s Got To Go
That’s What I Said When I Walked Out The Door

He Said Your Funny, It’s Really Cute
He Never Thought I Would Give Him The Boot
I Was Serious And I Told Him So
He Said “Baby Please Don’t Go”

Chorus

Next Week It’s The Same Old Show
He’s Saying That I Can’t Go
I’m Never Gonna Take His Ring
If He Keeps Telling Me That I Can’t Sing

I Tell Him I Can’t Do This No More,
He Says Just You Wait For What’s In Store
I Say, “No” That “I Can Wait”
But He Would Not Take The Bait

Chorus
Solo

Bridge:
He Thinks That I Want To Live Like This
He Thinks That I Can Live Like This
How Did I Get To This Place?
I Guess I Shouldn’t Have Opened The Door
