" Only ever be the girl who just almost died in my house
Half naked, looking through your telephone
Run you a bath and try hard not to freak out
It's all free and too easy giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am giving it away, giving it away
Giving it away, ooh

" Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came too, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living
INTERLUDE (guitar solo)
VERSE
" Wanna find somebody
Not like this
Yeah, I'm a decent person
Little aimless
It's all free and too easy, giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am, giving it away, giving it away
Giving it away, ooh
Chorus
" Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came too, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living
INTERLUDE (Play it 2x; ring out on the last E9)
