[Verse 1] I turned and caught his glance Over that rebel shoulder Cold brown eyes on mine Like the room got older Too young for that stare Early twenties, maybe He said, “Hello, Princess” Like trouble called me baby [Pre-Chorus] I felt my knees go thin Felt the air turn heavy He came in way too fast So I moved, ready [Chorus] Not tonight, not tonight You don’t get me that easy Not tonight, not tonight Your sweet talk won’t freeze me (hey) I slip right out your hands I’m gone before you know me Not tonight, not tonight You don’t get me that easy [Verse 2] I darted through the door Hit the main hall running He was one hard step behind All sharp and all coming Then that white kerchief Pressed up close to my face One breath and my fight went soft Like I lost my place [Pre-Chorus] I fought the drag in my head Tried to stay upright But the scent hit deeper Than the fear in the night [Chorus] Not tonight, not tonight You don’t get me that easy Not tonight, not tonight Your sweet talk won’t freeze me (hey) I slip right out your hands I’m gone before you know me Not tonight, not tonight You don’t get me that easy [Bridge] The floor kept spinning slow His arms turned to a blur I wanted my own voice back Wanted more than this pull My hands went weak, then still My world went into shadow I heard my name, far away Like a song I couldn’t follow [Chorus] Not tonight, not tonight You don’t get me that easy Not tonight, not tonight Your sweet talk won’t freeze me (hey) I slip right out your hands I’m gone before you know me Not tonight, not tonight You don’t get me that easy [Outro] If I fade, I fight Even under that spell If I fade, I fight And I’ll tell it all as well (hey)
