[Verse 1]
Why me? Why do I deserve this?
I'm right here
Why me? Why am I the one?
What have I done to get this over me? yeah
I guess my lord started counting way back
Days until the payback
Oh, not now
Not right now, not right now

[Chorus]
What are you telling me, telling me you are?
Don't wanna believe, don't wanna hear you father
I'm not ready to di-i-ie
Not ready to di-i-ie

[Verse 2]
If I leave who will be replacing me?
If I leave, if she won't take my name
Then I won't blame her, I won't keep her in the rain
And I keep on praying, I keep on begging
Not right now, not right now
Not right now

[Chorus]
What are you telling me, telling me you are?
Don't wanna believe, don't wanna hear you father
I'm not ready to di-i-ie
Not ready to di-i-ie
What are you telling me, telling me you are?
Don't wanna believe, don't wanna hear you father
I'm not ready to di-i-ie
Not ready to di-i-ie
[Bridge]
Why are you choosing me, choosing me when I
When I wanna live, I wanna feel it all
But I'm not ready to di-i-ie
Not ready to di-i-ie

[Extended Chorus]
What are you telling me, telling me you are?
Don't wanna believe, don't wanna hear you father
I'm not ready to di-i-ie
Not ready to di-i-ie
Why are you choosing me, choosing me when I
When I wanna live, I wanna feel it all
But I'm not ready to di-i-ie
Not ready to di-i-ie
