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 futz and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back down
Scraped knees, tough love, ah yeah
Grass stains were just a sign of the times
Too adult to say, "big whoop"
Let any old bummer get under my hide
But, ooh I'm gonna take control
'Cause 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
So I'll walk that tightrope wire
But what am I really made of? Yeah
Scared of heights like I'm scared of falling in love
But, ooh I'm gonna take control
Because 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 futz and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back down
And reach arms length deep, ah yeah
'Cause they'll try to pierce your childhood hide
But, ooh I'm gonna take control
'Cause 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 say, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
I say, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
I say, I won't let you bring me back
Bring me back down in the dumps
You can throw all the futz and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back down
You can throw all the futz and the tantrums you want
But I won't let you bring, bring me back
