Not so fast
Arpan Dey 2004 (West Bengal)
Not so fast
Oh, not so fast
Didn't you just say
You betrayed me?
I didn't trust you
In the first place
So how do you say
That I'm betrayed?
Oh, betrayed I'm not
Betrayed I can't be
For I trust no one
Not even myself.
Oh, I don't need
To trust people
I just live life
I just don't care.
And I will live
As long as I'm not
Betrayed by life
But, not so fast.
Not so fast
Not so fast
I ain't going
Anytime soon
Not so fast
I won't become past
So fast
Not so fast
I'll last
Much longer
Not so fast.
