lyrics

I don’t know why but this particular day
Something about you just seemed different
to me
I didn’t know that you could talk that way
You were a real good person with real bad
taste
And you could say that this was easy for me
But you were runnin’ outta gasoline
I got home, and you were stuck in the
driveway
Had a problem with me fallin’ in love
You got stoned
It was never enough—you said
“Yr kinda cute, but you drink too much
And all you do is get faded
And complain about stuff”
Now what you said isn’t just some small
thing
Yr not the queen of my heart, I’m not yr
dance hall king
I got dropped, and I could hardly stand up
And you go
Oh-wa-uh-o
You say you wait wait wait wait wait wait
It got easier
But you still wish you had stayed
It got dirtier
You said “babe you keep me clean”
But I was barely awake anyway
And then you found me on a different day
I got drowned
It was a difficult way
To go out
When I could hardly stand up
If I’m yr favorite it’s not a surprise
Don’t wait up
You might as well try
I won’t tell
Bout the beginning of us
And you go
Oh-wa-uh-o
You say you wait wait wait wait wait wait
It got easier
But you still wish you had stayed

It got dirtier
You said “babe you keep me clean”
But I was barely awake anyway
