[Verse 1]
I let you get around me
I let you get under my skin
I let you surround me
Oh I let you get within

[Chorus]
When you can’t escape
When you can run no further
I let you get away
I let you get away with...

[Verse 2]
I’m waiting at the bus stop
In pyjamas that your mother bought me
It’s been a couple hours now
When you arrive you won’t even think to say “I’m sorry,” will you?
‘Cause I’ve spent eight pounds fifty on good wine
And the candles will be dead now

[Chorus]
And when I can’t escape
I ask myself was it all worth it
To let you get away
To let you get away with
To let you get away
Let you get away with
Let you get away
To let you get away with…
[Bridge]
“No, it’s fine,” I sigh and tesco-value lager-eyed you try to smile me to submission
And my knees go and I’m stapled to your side
I can’t hear the silence now
I can’t feel the food grow cold
I can’t feel my heart grow old
All I feel is love
All I feel is love
All I feel is love
All I feel is love

[Outro]
If I had the strength
Even if I had you cornered
You’d look right through my eye
And I’d let you get away
I’d let you get away
I’d let you get away
I’d let you get away
I’d let you get away with…
