i didn't take no shortcuts

i spent the money that i saved up

oh, mama, running out of luck

they like my sister don't give a fuck

i wanna steal your innocence

to me my life, it don't make sense

your strange manners i love 'em so

why won't you wear your new trench coat?

oh, should i work much harder

or should i just not bother

i never show up on weekdays

that's something that you learned yesterday

drive you to work or you wont be on time

these little problems they're not yours they're mine

come on and listen to what i say

i 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 never had nothing i wanted

but i want it all, i just can't figure out

nothing

and all together it went well

we made pretend we were best friends

then she said, oh, you're a freak

they ordered me to make mistakes

together again like the beginning

it all works somehow in the end

the things we did, the things you hide

and for the record it's between you and i

to me my life, it just don't make any sense

your strange manners i love 'em so

i just want to misbehave

i just want to be your slave

oh, you ain't never had nothing i wanted

but i want it all, i just can't figure out

nothing

and all together it went well

we made pretend we were best friends

together again like the beginning
