[Intro] I won't let you bring me back, bring me back No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back You can throw all the fits and the tantrums you want But I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down [Verse 1] Way back in '95: scraped knees, tough love, ah yea Gra** stains were just a sign of the times Big kids look at us now, too adult to say "big whoop" Letting any old bummer get under my hide But ooh, I'm gonna take control [Chorus 1] I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps [Verse 2] So I'll walk that tightrope wire But what am I really made of? Scared of heights like I'm scared of falling in love But ooh, I'm gonna take control [Chorus 2] I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps You can throw all the fits and the tantrums you want But I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down [Verse 3] So think back to '95 And reach arms-length deep, ah yea Cause they'll try to pierce your childhood hide But ooh, I'm gonna take control [Chorus 3] I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps I said, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps No, I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down in the dumps You can throw all the fits and the tantrums you want But I won't let you bring me back, bring me back down You can throw all the fits and the tantrums you want But I won't let you bring, bring me back
