here's the talk you want to hear
here's the nonsense in your ear
here's the fast-food version of
all you ask, perversion love,
or maybe not
but so it seems
bad girls only live in dreams
twisted by a mental block
formed by some demented jock
sadistic freak
sorry sap
makes her weak
wakes her nap
awakens passions
kept as rations
rips them out before she's ready
they weren't even going steady
all the hopes and dreams she's carried
broken in before she's married
what a dirty trick to play
all for what?
thrill for a day?
ok, forget it, nevermind,
so someone tagged her bum behind
it doesn't matter anyway
she had it coming, some might say,
but in the hour when no one hears
no one sees
no one jeers
her sad eyes flood with heated tears
she lost her youth in early years
was it devil weed or beers?
cowboys, redskins, buccaneers?
now who will comfort all her fears
and will he remain faceless?
just one of her bracelets?
better he be a philosopher than someone with a loss-for-words
no gentleman nor officer
could ever keep her interest
she's been divided, broken down
you're right, she left, she's not around
she took you for a ride, you clown
you bored her with your chin-rest
so let that be a lesson to ya
you don't do much guessin' do ya?
bullet holes are pressin' through ya
it won't hold much water
if you walk away you're dusted
if you try to stay, you're busted
so you bow and pray to trusted
idols (how you caught her)
but the eve of every adam
can be such a sultry madam
now you're shot right through in traction
since she's gone there's not much action
just a minor love infraction
you won't fall again
now you just pretend
work it while you can
don't dare take a stand
go down with the plan
like a "normal" man
