When I'm out walkin' I strut my stuff
Man,I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out

Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know you're the one

Body and heat I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry

Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know you're the one

When I'm out walkin' I strut my stuff
Man,I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
When I'm out walkin' I strut my stuff
Man,I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
Body and beats I stain my sheets
I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry
When I'm out walkin' I strut my stuff
Man,I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out

Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know you're the one

''(Day after day
I will walk and I will play
I but the day after today
I will stop
and I will start)''

why can't I get just one kiss
why can't I get just one kiss
there may be some things that I wouldn't miss
but I look at your pants and I need a kiss

why can't I get just one screw
why can't I get just one screw
believe me I know what to do
but something won't let me make love to you

why can't I get just one fuck
why can't I get just one fuck
I guess it's got something to do with luck
but I waited my whole life for just one

day after day
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is in my sight
when I'll take a bow
and say goodnight

oh ma mumma mamma mo ma mum
have you kept your eye, your eye on your son
I know you've had problems, you're not the only one
When your sugar left, he left you on the run

oh ma mumma mumma mo ma mum
take a look now at what your boy has done
he's walking around like he's number one
went downtown and you got him a gun

so don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
you know you've got my sympathy
but don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me

don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me
you know you've got my sympathy
but don't shoot, shoot, shoot that thing at me

going down the kitchen at the top of the stairs
can I mix in with your affairs
share a smoke, make a joke
grasp and reach for a leg of hope

words to memorize, words hypnotize
words make my mouth exercise
words all failed the magic prize
nothing I can say when I'm in your thighs

oh ma mumma mo ma mo ma muther
I would love to love you lover
city is restless, it's ready to pounce
here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce

oh ma mumma mo ma mo ma muther
I would love to love you lover
city is restless, it's ready to pounce
here in your bedroom, ounce for ounce

I've given you, decision to make
things to lose, things to take
just as she's about ready to cut it up
she says wait a minute honey, I'm gonna add it up
add it up! add it up! add it up!

day after day
I get angry
and I will say
that the day
is in my sight
when I'll take a bow
and say goodnight

People worry
what are they worrin about today
seems like there's a good reason
to worry worry worry
I'd sit around listening to you story
if I wasn't in such a
hurry hurry hurry
and I'm so lonely
I just don't think I can take it anymore
and I'm so lonely
I just don't know what to do
and I'm so lonely
feel like I'm gonna crawl away and die
and I'm so lonely
feel like i'm gonna
hack hack hack hack it apart
seems like theres a good reason to be
lonely lonely lonely
I gotta get someone or something
to make me feel less
lonely lonely lonely
I know I could do it
I know if I wasn't so
lonely lonely lonely
have we got an army
we'll teach you how to act like to act like a man
have we got an army
man I mean to tell you we can fight
have we got an army
and were gonna do it tonight
do do do it tonight
yeah they're gonna
pay pay pay pay it tonight
do do do it tonight
people worry
what are they worrin about today
people worry
na you see I've learned my lessons
and I don't even want to here about your confessions

Just last night
I was reminded of
just how bad
it had gotten and
just how sick
I had become
but it could change
with this relationship
de-de range
we've all been thru some shit
and if were a thing
I think this things begun
tell me now
what do I have to do
to prove my love to you
special favors come in 31 flavors
we're out of mints
pass the life savers
I'm droppin hints
candy for candy-coated tongue
you'd be so good
so very good for me
what do you think
tell me honestly
I'm wait wait wait
w-wait wait
waiting for you to come
tell me now
what do I have to do
to prove my love to you
I'd do anything
I'd do it all
I'd do it all for you
I'd climb a mountain
i'd cross the ocean
I'd do it it all
to prove my love to you

Y'know that I want your loving,
but my logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen,
and then my defenses say I didn't want it anyway,
but you know sometimes I'm a liar.
Could you ever want me to love you?
Could you ever want me to care?
Disregard my nervousness,
please ignore my vacant stares,
'cause just what I've been through,
is nothing like where I'm going to.

Give me some sign to pursue,
a promise,
and you're unhappy.
...This is only a guess...

Do you know what it's like to hate
when it's way down deep inside?
Oh god, I hate what's been done to my life.
I could rule the pain,
I could rule the night,
or would I ruin my salvation,
ruin my mind.
Rule your pains,
rulers of the night,
ruin your salvation,
ruin your mind.

Y'know that I want your loving,
but then Mr Logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen,
and then my defenses say I didn't want it anyway,
but you know sometimes I'm a liar.
Could you ever want me to love you?
Could you ever want me to care?
Disregard my nervousness,
please ignore my vacant stares,
'cause just what I've been through,
is nothing like where I'm going to.

Give me some sign to pursue,
a promise,
a promise,
and you're unhappy,
and you're unhappy,
and you're unhappy,
and you're unhappy.
...This is only a guess...

Good feeling won't you stay with me just a little longer
It always seems like your leaving when I need you here just a little bit
longer. Dear lady, there are so many things have come to fear
A little voice says I'm going crazy to see all my worlds disappear
Vague sketch of a fantasy
Laughing at the sunrise like he's been up all night
Ooo slippin' and slidin' what a good time
But now have to find a bed that can take this wait
Good feeling won't you stay with me just a little longer
Y'know it always seems like your leaving
When I know the other one just a little to well
Oh dear lady, won't you stay with me just a little longer
Y'know it always seems like your leaving
When I need you here just a little longer
