Lyrics

[Verse 1] I didn't take no shortcuts I spent the money that I saved up Oh, mama running out of luck Like my sister, don't give a fuck Oh these strange manners, I love 'em so I wish you'd wear your new trench coat I don't show up on weekdays And something that you learned yesterday [Pre-Chorus] I just want to misbehave I just want to be your slave You ain't got nothing I want, but I want it all, I just can't figure out Nothing [Verse 2] I wanna steal your innocence To me my life, it don't make sense I took five dollars, won't get me far My last resort is to steal your car Drive you to work and you'll be on time The little problems they're not yours, they're mine Come on and listen to what I say I've got some secrets that'll make you stay [Pre-Chorus] I just want to turn you down I just want to turn you around Oh, you ain't got nothing I want, but I want it all, I just can't figure out Nothing [Chorus] And all he said is, "I'm a freak" He ordered them to make mistakes And all together 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 asking for more Together again, like the beginning But for the record, it's between you and me! [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse 3] I wanna steal your innocence To me my life, it don't make sense Oh, these strange manners, I love 'em so Why won't you wear your new trenchcoat? I didn't take no shortcuts I spent the money that I saved up Oh, mama running out of luck Like my sister don't give a fuck [Pre-Chorus] I just want to turn you down And maybe later I'll turn you around You ain't never had nothing I want, but I want it all, I just can't figure out Nothing [Chorus] And all he said is, "I'm a freak" He ordered them to make mistakes And all together 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 beginning I said it's between you and I
