Strokes

I didn t take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Oh, my ol Momma s running out of luck
Like my sister don t give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life it dont make sense
Those strange manners, oh I love em so
why wont you wear your new trench coat

I shoulda worked much harder
I shoulda just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays
That s something that I learned yesterday

Drive you to work; you will be on time
These little problems they re not yours and mine,
Come on and listen to what I say
I ve got some secrets that ll make you stay
I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
Oh, you ain t never had nothing I want, but...
I want it all
I just can t figure out...
Nothin

And all together it went well
we made pretend we were best friends
Then she said oh you re a freak
They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again, like the beginning
it all works some how in the end
the things we did, the things you hide
But for the record it s between you and i

I didnt take no short cuts
I spent the money that i saved up
oh,momma running out of luck
like my sister dont give a fuck
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life, it just don t make any sense
Oh, those strange manners I love em so
Why won t you wear your new trenchcoat?
I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
You ain t never had nothing I wanted, but...
I want it all
I just can t figure out...
Nothin

And all together it went well
we made pretend we were best friends
Then she said oh i can wait
they ordered me to make mistakes
Together again, like the beginning
it all works some how in the end
the things we did, the things you hide
But for the record it s between you and i
