(Imagine an upbeat Motown sound.)

Thought that you could play me

Baby, you're crazy

Your judgement's hazy

If you think that I owe you

I'm breaking away (from you, oh oh)

Yes I'll break away (from you, oh oh)

I'll never ever stay with you (oh no no no, no no no no no, no no no no no, no no no)

You thought I was a token

Baby, you're broken

Dunno what you were smokin'

To make you think that I owe you

I'm breaking away (from you, oh oh)

Yes I'll break away (from you, oh oh)

I'll never ever stay with you (oh no no no, no no no no no, no no no no no, no no no)

But my heart will not be hollow

Life's just too short to wallow

I've done left the city

You'll get no more pity

& today may have some sorrow

but probably not tomorrow

Like Constantine I'll conquer 

I'll defeat every monster

I'll never ever stay with you (oh no no no, no no no no no, no no no no no, no no no)

I'm breaking away, I'm breaking away

I've broken away (fadeout)
