No Regrets

Taken From ’I’ve Been Expecting You’

(Robbie Williams/Guy Chambers)

Notes: After the success of Angels, Rob felt confident enough to approach his record company and ask to work with ’The Pet Shop Boys’, this song was the result.

Tell me a story

Where we all change

And we’d live our lives together

And not enstranged

I didn’t lose my mind it was mine to give away

Couldn’t stay to watch me cry

You didn’t have the time

So I softly slip away...

No regrets - they don’t work

No regrets - they only hurt

Sing me a love song, drop me a line

Suppose it’s just a point of view

But they tell me I’m doing fine

I know from the outside

We looked good for eachother

Felt things were going wrong

When you didn’t like my mother

I don’t want to hate but that’s

All you’ve left me with

A bitter aftertaste and a fantasy of

How we all could live

No regrets - they don’t work

No regrets - they only hurt

(We’ve been told you stay up late)

I know they’re still talking

(You’re far too short to carry weight)

The demons in your head

(Return the videos they’re late)

If I could just stop hating you(Goodbye)

I’d feel sorry for us instead

Remember the photographs (insane)

The ones where we all laugh (so lame)

We were having the time of our lives

Well thank you it was a real blast

No regrets / they don’t work

No regrets / they only hurt

Write me a love song, drop me a line

Suppose it’s just a point of view

But they tell me I’m doing fine

Everything I wanted to be everytime I walked away

Everytime you told me to leave I just wanted to stay

Every time you looked at me and everytime you smiled

I felt so vacant you treat me like a child

I loved the way we used to laugh

I loved the way we used to smile

Often I sit down and think of you, for a while

Then it passes by me and I think of someone else instead

I guess the love we once had is officially dead
