I didn't take no shortcuts
I spent the money that I saved up
Aw mama runnin' out of luck

Well like my sister don't give a $#&@
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life it don't make sense

These strange manners, I love you so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat


I should of worked much harder
I should have just not bothered
I never show up on weekdays

Something that you learned yesterday
Drive you to work and you will be on time
These little problems they're not yours they're mine

Come on listen to what I say
I got some secrets that 'll make you stay


I just want to turn you down
I just want to turn you around
You ain't never had nothing I wanted

But I want it all I just can't figure out
Nothing


And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
And then she said Oh you're a freak

They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end

The things we did the things you hide
For the record it's between you and I


I didn't take no shortcuts

Well like my sister don't give a $#&@
I wanna steal your innocence
To me my life it just don't make any sense

These strange manners, I love 'em so
Why won't you wear your new trench coat


I just want to misbehave
I just want to be your slave
You ain't ever had nothing I wanted

But I want it all I just can't figure out
Nothing


And all together it went well
We made pretend we were best friends
And then she said Oh I can wait

They ordered me to make mistakes
Together again like the beginning
It all works somehow in the end

The things we did the things you hide
For the record it's between you and I
