I didn't take no shortcuts
|
I spent the money that I saved up
|
Oh, Momma running out of luck
|
Like my sister, don't give a fuck
|
|
Oh his strange manners, I love 'em so
|
"I wish you'd wear your new trench coat"
|
I don't show up on weekdays
|
That's something that you learned yesterday
|
|
I just want to misbehave
|
I just want to be your slave
|
You ain't got nothing I want, but...
|
I want it all
|
I just can't figure out...
|
Nothin'
|
|
I wanna steal your innocence
|
To me my life, it don't make sense
|
I took five dollars, won't get me far
|
My last resort is to steal your car
|
"Drive you to work; you'll be on time
|
These little problems they're not yours and mine,"
|
"Come on and listen to what I say
|
I've got some secrets that'll make you stay"
|
|
I just want to turn you down
|
I just want to turn you around
|
Oh, you ain't got nothing I want, but...
|
I want it all
|
I just can't figure out...
|
Nothin'
|
|
And all he said is, "I'm a freak"
|
He ordered them to make mistakes
|
And all together it went well
|
We made pretend we were best friends
|
Today the day that I was born
|
He won't leave me alone he keeps asking for more
|
Together again, like the beginning
|
But for the record it's between you and me
|
|
I wanna steal your innocence
|
To me my life, it don't make sense
|
Oh, his strange manners I love 'em so
|
"Why won't he wear his new trenchcoat?"
|
I didn't take no shortcuts
|
I spent the money that I saved up
|
Oh, Momma running out of luck
|
Like my sister don't give a fuck
|
|
I just want to turn you down
|
And maybe later I'll turn you around
|
You ain't never had nothing I want, but...
|
I want it all
|
I just can't figure out...
|
Nothing
|
|
And all he said is, "I'm a freak"
|
He ordered them to make mistakes
|
And all together it went well
|
We made pretend we were best friends
|
Today the day that I was born
|
He won't leave me alone he just asks for more
|
Together again, like the beginning
|
I said it's between you and I
