[Intro] The rain paints circles on your window pane, I’m taking my time — if you want to complain. [Verse 1] Your coat’s hanging crooked right there by the door, The cup’s getting cold, but I’m staying no more. The fireplace crackles, I curtsy so grand, My heart whispers "maybe" — my head makes a stand. Your name in the sand? Washed away by the sea. I’m wearing my crown full of brave tyranny. You’re looking for keys? Well, they’re right by my side. I’m opening the door — but you stay outside. [Pre-Chorus] You come with that look like it’s all just the same, But with every beat I am done with this game. You say "just one word", but my eyebrow goes high: "Nope!" — and I turn right before you can lie. [Chorus] Nope! Nope! Not today, not here! You want me back? I am mine, my dear. Nope! Nope! Hear the bass, hear the call? I’m having my fun — and you get none at all, none at all! Nope! Nope! Go and walk away! My heart’s making room, but you cannot stay, okay? Nope! Nope! That’s the end of the race. I’m taking my key — and you take your place. [Verse 2] The clock on the wall keeps on ticking the beat, I don’t have to copy your lines of deceit. Your letter with smiles, oh so sweet and so neat, Is under my grocery list, out on the street. You say that you miss me; I believe that it’s true. But that doesn’t change what you put me right through. A kiss on the forehead? How sweet and how kind. I wave with a smile — from the room left behind. [Pre-Chorus] You come with that look like it’s all just the same, But with every beat I am done with this game. You say "just one word", but my eyebrow goes high: "Nope!" — and I turn right before you can lie. [Chorus] Nope! Nope! Not today, not here! You want me back? I am mine, my dear. Nope! Nope! Hear the bass, hear the call? I’m having my fun — and you get none at all, none at all! Nope! Nope! Go and walk away! My heart’s making room, but you cannot stay, okay? Nope! Nope! That’s the end of the race. I’m taking my key — and you take your place. [Bridge] And if you stand close to the window once more, With all of the lies that you’ve spun up before, Today you will find that this entrance is barred. A wave and a smile — and I’ll lower my guard. [Final Chorus] Nope! Nope! Not today, not here! You want me back? I am mine, my dear. Nope! Nope! Hear the bass, hear the call? I’m having my fun — and you get none at all, none at all! Nope! Nope! Go and walk away! My heart’s making room, but you cannot stay, okay? Nope! Nope! That’s the end of the race. I’m taking my key — and you take your place. Nope! Nope! That’s my "yes" to my soul — and I’m keeping control! [Outro] The rain’s clearing up, and the morning feels bright, I’m lifting my head — and my time is my right.
