lyrics

Woke up and thought about last night
It was such a crying shame
Must I really go outside
If so I better wear my shades

Don't want to know what is the hour
Don't think I want to get out of bed
But I'd better take a shower
And wash that girl right off my hair

Had to go down to the grocery
I could see them all staring at me
Saying "How could you fuck it up?
Just don't go blaming lady luck"

Well, I just had to laugh
Must I get used to that?
Not even in my lies
Have I got a place to hide

I thought about us all the time
I could picture our golden days
That went on until last night
When she had to put me in my place

At the service station I was told
"Man you should always take it slow
Why not resign to your fate
At best you're an acquired taste

Well, I just had to laugh
I'm getting used to that
Now not even in my mind
Do I have a place to hide

Throughout my town
In every damn street
Everyone I know
Everyone I meet
Knows the whole story
Will they speak of it
Is that embarassing
Well, a little bit
But I was ill-advised
By a little kid
Yeah, I was in the clouds
I must admit
Ever since I saw you
And could not resist
Ever since the beat
That my heart skipped
