If It Happens Again - UB40

If it happens again I’m leaving

I’ll pack my things and go

If it happens again

There’ll be no looking back

And 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 leaving

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 leaving

I’ll pack my things and go

If it happens again

There’ll be no looking back

And I won’t say I told you so

I won’t say I told you so

No more spanners in the works

All the works been done

Had your face rubbed in the dirt

On show for every one

But believe me

If it happens again I’m leaving

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 leaving

I’ll pack my things and go

If it happens again

There’ll be no looking back

And I won’t say I told you so

I won’t say I told you so

If it happens again I’m leaving

I’ll pack my things and go

If it happens again

There’ll be no looking back

And I won’t say I told you so

I won’t say I told you so

If it happens again I’m leaving

I’ll pack my things and go

If it happens again

There’ll be no looking back

And I won’t say I told you so

I won’t say I told you so
