No Don't Mean Yes

from Heartsick Harmony by Gadè

/

lyrics

You came back home late
With that look in your eye...
And I have to say
Had enough pillow talk to last a lifetime...
Business hours are over

Used to be I wanted any affection
All the hungry eyes dart around from head to thighs
When the mood struck, didn't know where I could look
As far from romance as a heart could imagine

Now I know myself
Won't be held by the hand you dealt
No more gas I want electric light
My decision and that is my right

No don't mean yes
Now you're making me tired
Remember i'm your partner not your service provider
Oh let me guess – your heart is on fire
Acting like your every wish is somehow required
No don't mean yes
Now you're making me tired
Remember i'm your partner not your service provider
Oh let me guess – your heart is on fire
Acting like your every wish is somehow required

Not for me, no
Not for me, no
Not for me, no
Not for me, no

Taught to love like it was an invasion
Persist, infantilise
Talk about the body instead of my mind
Friends say it's bad luck
Truth of the matter we know we're stuck
Say we're alright while taking the damage

Now I know myself
Won't be held by the hand you dealt
No more gas I want electric light
My decision and that is my right

No don't mean yes
Now you're making me tired
Remember i'm your partner not your service provider
Oh let me guess – your heart is on fire
Acting like your every wish is somehow required
No don't mean yes
Now you're making me tired
Remember i'm your partner not your service provider
Oh let me guess – your heart is on fire
Acting like your every wish is somehow required

Not for me, no
Not for me, no
Not for me, no
Not for me, no

Hard to understand
Been taught and shown how to love for so long
But you know me
We have a connection
Please open your heart as I impress upon you
Treating people this way has never been alright
You have to know looking in my eyes that this hurts
And that will never be ok
STOP

It's not for me, no
It's not for me, no
It's not for me, no
It's not for me, no
It's not for me, no
It's not for me, no
It's not for me, no
It's not for me...
NO!
