No Rainbows For Me

Lyrics

I've thought of asking you / for so long, / afraid of what / your answer would be. / But there's no other way, / so here I stay, / you know, I believe in your lies / so easily. /

Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /

I'm going for myself, / (so I tell myself) / but there's no pot of gold, / just shades of blue. / You think my heart's a toy; / like a little boy, / you pick it up, / and play with it, / and break it when you're through. /

Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /

Ooh... / no rainbows for me. / Ooh... / no rainbows for me. / Ooh... / no rainbows for me. / Ooh... / no rainbows for me. /

Stop hurting me, baby, / I may lose my mind. / Stop hurting me, baby, / or I'll ??? you. / I'll ??? / No rainbows for me...

[Outro sample:] Yes, well, that last one didn't sound too furious!

References

Bob & Pete are magpies when it comes to pinching shiny lyrics and flying away with them. An avenue correspondent noted that the title phrase occurs in Tammy St John's Dark Shadows And Empty Hallways, and that "my heart's a toy, and like a little boy, he breaks it when he's through" appears in the lyrics to He Knows I Love Him Too Much, written by Goffin & King.
