Lyrics: Ub40. Live at Montreux 2002. If It Happens Again.

If it happens again
I'm leavin'
I'll pack up my things and go
If it happens again
There'll be no lookin' back
An' I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so

You did what you were told
And you took the strain
Been left out in the cold
Got yourself to blame

But believe me
If it happens again, I'm leavin'
If it stays the same, I'm gone
When you're stabbed in the back
And there's salt in the wound
Then it's time to move along

If it happens again
I'm leavin'
I'll pack up my things and go
If it happens again
There'll be no lookin' back
An' I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so

No more spanners in the work
All the works been done
Your face rubbed in the dirt
On show for everyone

But believe me
If it happens again, I'm leavin'
If it stays the same, I'm gone
When compromise is the song that you sing
It's been going on too long

If it happens again
I'm leavin'
I'll pack up my things and go
If it happens again
There'll be no lookin' back
An' I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so

If it happens again
I'm leavin'
I'll pack up my things and go
If it happens again
There'll be no lookin' back
An' I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so

If it happens again
I'm leavin'
I'll pack up my things and go
If it happens again
There'll be no lookin' back
An' I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so
