Stiff Little Fingers - Just Fade Away lyrics

She asks for more and I give less

Why can't she see it's obvious

I mean no but she takes yes

I make it clear but she don't guess

She comes round it gets me down

But she don't catch a hint I drop

She turns up it turns me off

And she don't know when to stop

What am I supposed to do?

How to gently break the news?

How to get the message through?

Perhaps I should just fade away

She asked me out and I gave in

Then she gave out and I felt mean

I really want no more of us

So I stay home, she comes across

She comes round I turn her down

But she bounces back again

She comes on I turn her off

But she don't get what's really plain

What am I supposed to do?

Got to get the message through

Got to make her see the truth

I wish she would just fade away

Do you want to know do I love you?

The answer's no

Is that straight enough for you?

She asked for it I told her flat

That I don't want no more of that

I've really had you up to here

And I don't even like you near

If you come round I won't be in

I can't stand to see your face

If we meet up then count me out

Why don't you just fade away?

Fade away

When love's not love

When love's not love

When love's not love

Fade away
