Do Not Ask for Love (First Recorded Version) The Monkees

[Verse 1]
And is it so, once more, thou art returning?
Hast thou lost thy way, as once before?
I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be
I shall not be thy refuge once more

[Chorus]
Thou makest me free
Then soon thou makest demands on me
And I am not thy love
Thou workest in me slavery
But I shan't heed thee, as before
I prithee, do not ask for love once more

[Verse 2]
So go my way, and soon, I shall go likewise
And if thy path be high, then be mine low
Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not
For soon they shall be covereth with snow

[Chorus]
Thou makest me free
Then soon thou makest demands on me
And I am not thy love
Thou workest in me slavery
But I shan't heed thee, as before
I prithee, do not ask for love once more
I prithee, do not ask for love once more
