Take off your shoes, hang up your wings
|
Stack up the chairs, roll up the rug
|
Savor the things that sobriety brings
|
Drain in the last from a jug
|
But when I hit the bottle, there's no tellin' what I'll do
|
'Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue
|
I can't resist you, I can't wait
|
To twist your loving arms till you capitulate
|
|
Beat me in the kitchen, and I'll beat you in the hall
|
There's nothing I love better than a free for all
|
To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends
|
But when it is all over we will still be friends
|
|
Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
|
Too many people just can't get kissed
|
But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, baby
|
Hope you don't murder me
|
|
Oh, was it all right, or was it okay
|
I'll make it all up to you someday
|
Oh, but you didn't have to laugh that way
|
Oh, no, you didn't have to laugh that way
|
|
Wave a white flag, put away the pistol
|
Too many people just can't get kissed
|
But if there's nothin' I can do to make amends, baby
|
Hope you don't murder me
|
Gee, baby, hope you don't murder me
|
