IN 28 YEARS I LOVED ENOUGH TO QUIT COLD TURKEY
LINE BETWEEN THE ARTIST AND THE AD IS GETTING BLURRY
YOU'RE THE HISS IN THE PAN LIKE I'M EGGS AND BUTTER
AND I WONDER HOW HE GOT NO COLOR ALL SUMMER
WELL HE'S SENSIBLY SOFT HEARTED AND HE'S OUT TO LUNCH
WITH THE TROUBLE FREE APPEAL OF A SUNDAY PUNCH
WHEN THE WORLD'S GOT AN IDEA OF YOU MAN, YOU GOTTA FIGHT IT OUT STICK TO THE PEOPLE WHO TELL YOU IDEAS THAT YOU CAN LAUGH ABOUT
NO
I DONT KNOW
I DONT KNOW
ANYTHING
BACK AGAIN WITH "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?"
WAS I SUPPOSED TO TURN BACK MY TRUCKER HAT?
LETS OPEN UP THE FLOOR IF THERE'S ANYMORE QUESTIONS
A MOODY LITTLE BITCH WITH DIME-STORE AGGRESSION
WELL DON'T BE MEAN JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN
AND DON'T BE MEAN BECAUSE YOU'RE UNPREPARED
WHEN SOMEONE'S RUN OUT THINK TO GIVE THEM SOME MORE
AND DON'T ASK YOURSELF, "WHAT'D YOU THINK THAT FOR?"
EVIDENTLY MY METHOD'S AIN'T JUST STARTED FORMING
GIVE EM' HIT AFTER HIT THEY LIKE, "MAN, YOU CORNY!'
WHEN THE WORLD STARTS TO GIVE YOU FEELINGS TO FEEL BAD ABOUT STICK TO THE ONES THAT GIVE YOU FEELINGS THAT YOU CAN LAUGH ABOUT
NO
I DONT KNOW
I DONT KNOW
ANYTHING

IM IN THE CORNER ON THE ROPES I CAN'T DECIDE IF
SHOULD SCOOP THE SLING OR BODY SLAM OR PILE DRIVE THIS
IF YOU AND ME ARE MEANT TO BE I'M NONE THE WISER
I'M GETTING LOOKS I'M MAKING HONOR ROLE LIKE KAISER
I THINK YOU'RE GONNA BE SICK
I JUST DON'T KNOW IF IT'S
WORTH IT FOR ME TO
HEAR OR KNOW OR CARE TO HEAR THE OUTCOME
YOU WANT MY LOVE? JUST GO AHEAD AND HAVE SOME
YEAH TAKE ME DOWN A PEG
TURN ME LIKE WATERSHED
SHOW ME YOUR POINT OF VIEW
I'M NOT QUITE OVER YOU
I'M WARMING UP, NOT TOUGH
DON'T MIS-ASSESS MY SWAGGER
A STIPULATION USING TABLES, CHAIRS, AND LADDERS
MY BODY'S BREAKING, LUGS ARE SHAKING FROM THE LAUGHTER
SHOULD I STOP IT BEFORE IT COMES LIKE MORNING AFTER?
I'M LOVING TRYING TO BE, ALL THAT YOU EVER NEED, TO THE HIGHEST DEGREE
MY ORCHARD APPLE TREE
LOOK WHAT I'VE FOUND
IF I WANT YOUR LOVIN' NOW I'M GONNA HAVE TO CUT YOU DOWN
I'M DISCONNECTING
AND STAMP COLLECTING
SO UNSUSPECTING
AND TERREFIED
OVER SUPPLIED
BUT BONAFIDE
CORPORATE LIFE, KID AND A WIFE, DON'T WANT TO TRY, CORPORATE LIFE
YEAH TAKE ME DOWN A PEG
TURN ME LIKE WATERSHED
SHOW ME YOUR POINT OF VIEW
I'M NOT QUITE OVER YOU

SHUT YOUR WHACK ASS UP
YOU'VE GOT TO KNOW NOW
FROM THE DISCO TO MOSCOW
SHE GOT CRUSHED BY A SNOWPLOW
THE BLEEDING SLOWED DOWN
YOU LOOKED SO SACRED WHEN YOU FINALLY CAME TO
SHUT YOUR WHACK ASS UP
I'VE GOT TO THINK IT FOR MYSELF
DON'T TRY TO FORCE IT TO MATCH UP
BEFORE YOU WENT TO SLEEP
YOU BENT DOWN AND PULLED THE CARPET OUT FROM UNDERNEATH ME
WELL YOU SEE YOU MIGHT BE FINE WITH NOT KNOWING IF WE'LL EMBRACE
AND MY HEARTS ALWAYS PAINTED BIG AND STUPID ON MY FACE
WELL YOU BETTER REMEMBER HOW I LOVED YOU ALL THE TIME
HOW I KISSED AND KISSED UNTIL THE KISSES WEREN'T EVEN MINE
NOW HUSH UP
HUSH UP
SHUT YOUR WHACK ASS UP
IF YOU WANT TO VIOLATE ME, VIOLATE ME IF YOU MUST
I'M BREAKING DOWN THE BORDER BETTER LET ME IN
ALL THE PROMISES YOU MADE I HOPE THAT YOU'RE KEEPING
WHEN TWO SHAPES COLLIDE WITH FORCE
YOU GET THE FEELING YOU'VE BEEN THINKING 'BOUT
THE WRONG KIND OF GOODTIMES AND
THE LONGEST SILENTEST GOODBYES
AND HIGHSCHOOL DANCES IN THE GYM
JUST LIKE SEX AND RHYTHM
AND HIGHSCHOOL DANCES IN THE GYM
YEAH JUST LIKE SEX AND RHYTHM
YOU AIN'T GOT NONE
