Written by John Mellencamp



We weren't afraid of nothing

Wasn't nothing we couldn't do

She held her breath once for seven minutes

And never turned blue



She could burn a woman down

If she felt she'd been unkind

or if she thought she was coming on to me

It drove her out of her mind



CHORUS

Oh yeah, it's true

We just did what we did

Whenever we wanted to

Yeah, it's true

We just did what we wanted

Whenever we wanted to



She was my very best friend

My biggest enemy

On judgment day we would go either way

It was all the same you see



She was not afraid of Satan

In fact she thought he was a joke

Said she'd tear off his tail

And run her fist down his throat



CHORUS



She was the apple of temptation

The apple of my eye

Used to rest on a bed of burning coals

Every single night



And I know she's out there somewhere

She's wrestling in the bones

With confetti in her hair

You can bet she's not alone



CHORUS
