Song Lyrics

I didn`t take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I`ve saved up

Aww mama runnin` out of luck

Well like my sister don`t give a fuck



Oh his strange manners I love them so

I wish you`d wear your new trench coat

I don`t show up on weekdays

Oh somethin` that you learned yesterday



I guess I want to misbehave

I guess I want to be your slave

You ain`t got nothin` 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

Oh two 5 dollars won`t get me far

My last resort is to steal your car



Drive you to work you`ll be on time

Well little problems they`re not yours they`re mine

Come on listen to what I say

I`ve got some secrets that`ll make you stay



I guess I want to turn you down

I guess I want to turn you around

Oh you ain`t got nothin` I want but

I want it all, I just can`t figure out

Nothin`



And oh he said that I`m a freak

He ordered them to make mistakes

And altogether 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 askin` for more

Together again, like the beginnin`

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 them so

Why won`t he wear his new trench coat?



I didn`t take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I`ve saved up

Aww mama runnin` out of luck

But like my sister don`t give a fuck



I guess I want to turn you down

And maybe later I`ll turn you around

You ain`t never had nothin` I want but

I want it all, I just can`t figure out

Nothin`



And though he said that I`m a freak

He ordered them to make mistakes

And altogether 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 beginnin`

I said, yes, it`s between you and I
