Run Like Hell

[VERSE 1]
Pretty face, shaggy hair
And blue, blue eyes
Can’t be responsible
For what I do to those guys
I chase your memory, your double
Causing misery and trouble
And I work real hard
Just to rip them apart
Hitch up your pants
Get ready to go
Pack all your bags
Get ready to bolt
[VERSE 2]
He’s sweet to me
Like you were once upon a time
It’s too bad he don’t know
That he’s paying for your crimes
I run him down, down, baby
Smile savage at his “save me!”
‘Cause you set me loose, baby
You set me loose
Hitch up your pants
Get ready to go
Pack all your things
Get ready to bolt
[CHORUS]
Baby, baby, I’m trouble
(Hazard to your health)
Baby, baby, I’m trouble
(Just can’t help myself)
Run, run, run, on the double
(You better run like hell)
You better run like hell
[VERSE 3]
Love may be blind,
But revenge sure ain’t
I never pretended I was some kind of saint
I don’t care about his name,
Only that you look the same
So call the priest, not the doctor
‘cause his ship is going under
Hitch up your pants
Get ready to go
Pack all your things
Get ready to bolt
[CHORUS]
Baby, baby, I’m trouble
(Hazard to your health)
Baby, baby, I’m trouble
(Just can’t help myself)
Run, run, run, on the double
(You better run like hell)
Just can’t help myself
[BRIDGE]
You set me loose
You set me loose, baby
You set me loose
You set me loose, baby
You did me dirty, baby, and I’m vicious when I’m crazy
So cover up them baby blues
‘cause this bitch is on the loose
[CHORUS]
Baby, baby, I’m trouble
(Hazard to your health)
Baby, baby, I’m trouble
(Just can’t help myself)
Run, run, run, on the double
(You better run like hell)
Just can’t help myself
Baby, baby, I’m trouble
(Hazard to your health)
Baby, baby, I’m trouble
(Just can’t help myself)
Run, run, run, on the double
(You better run like hell)
(You better be runnin’)
You better run like hell

Kiss Somebody Else
[VERSE 1]
I don’t do one night kisses
Let alone stands
With a two timin’ excuse
Excuse of a man
So quit looking at me
Like I’m something to eat
You might be a hound dog
But I ain’t no piece of meat, no indeed
[CHORUS ]
Oh, put away your cherry Chapstick
Don’t notch up your belt
It’s time to find somebody else
Kiss somebody else
[VERSE 2]
The girls fall all over you
With your bonny Irish blues
But my will, much stronger
You know my lips will hold out longer
So quit lookin’ at me
Like I’m something to eat
You might be a hound dog
But I’m not your puppy treat, no indeed
[CHORUS]
Oh, put away your cherry Chapstick
Darlin’, don’t notch up your belt
It’s time to find somebody else
Kiss somebody else
[VERSE 3]
It’s lucky that you live
In the city that don’t sleep
‘Cause you’re such a dirty, dirty dog
That sleep you never need, no indeed
[CHORUS]
Oh, put away your cherry Chapstick
And don’t notch up your belt
I said
Put away your cherry Chapstick
Don’t notch up your belt
I said
Put away your cherry Chapstick
Darlin’ don’t notch up your belt
It’s time to find somebody else
Kiss somebody else
Kiss somebody else

[VERSE 1]
Fooled me, again
With your Bombay Sapphire eyes.
Your eager hellos
Your drawn out goodbyes
Fooled me, again
With all your careful distance.
I thought you were playing hard to get
But you were really just resistant
[CHORUS]
Achin’
Achin’
Oh baby you’re taken.
Achin’
Achin’
Oh baby you’re taken.
[VERSE 2]
Fooled me, again
And now it’s comin’ out.
With all your pretty, pretty lies
I never had a doubt.
You, you fooled me again
Though you had every chance,
Every chance to come clean.
But I guess it was just too much fun
Comin’ in me, oh I’m
[CHORUS]
Achin’
Achin’
Oh baby you’re taken
Achin’
Achin’
Oh baby you’re taken
[BRIDGE]
Fool me once,
Shame on you
Fool me twice,
Shame on me
I said it’s a shame, it’s a shame, it’s a shame
A shame
[CHORUS]
Achin’
Achin’
Oh baby you’re taken
Achin’
Achin’
Oh baby you’re taken

Southern Girl

[VERSE]
Please don’t come
to my shows
Don’t ask about my life
Don’t tell me about
your winter blues
You don’t know me anymore,
and I don’t want to know you
Don’t rehash
tired jokes.
Don’t sniff out
my newest bloke.
Save those finer feelings
for your pretty blonde girls
You never loved me, and you know it
And I don’t want to know you
[CHORUS]
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
Go marry your Southern girl
And leave me alone
I don’t wanna know,
I don’t wanna know
Go marry your Southern girl
And leave me alone
Leave me alone
[VERSE]
As if you couldn’t get more appealing,
you’re trading your Mad Men enterprise
for warmer weather, a girl that’s better.
Continuing on those hippie bloodlines,
Oh
[CHORUS]
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
Go marry your Southern Girl
And leave me alone
I don’t wanna know, no
I don’t wanna know
Go marry your Southern girl
And leave me alone
Leave me alone
[BRIDGE]
See, I’ve got a type
and my type is you
But I’m not yours, too
You know it’s true
So don’t look so excited
When I walk into the room
Because you made your choice
And now I don’t belong to you
[OUTRO]
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
Go marry your Southern Girl
And leave me the fuck alone.
I don’t wanna know, no
I don’t wanna know
Go marry your Southern girl
And leave me alone
I don’t wanna know, no I don’t, don’t wanna know
You go marry your Southern girl and leave
Leave me alone
I don’t wanna know
Go marry your Southern girl
And leave me alone.
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Please leave me alone

[VERSE 1]
I met your girlfriend today
I never thought that would happen
I didn’t know what to say
You couldn’t stop smilin’
Well, you know it hurts me so
To see you with another girl
And though I wish you’d change your mind
That’s just fine
Well, we’ve got all the same friends
Which makes this much harder
‘Cause after just a few drinks
You’re sittin’ much closer
Oh darlin’, do you have to stare?
Every look is like torture
And it’s gettin’ hard to bear
But you take, you take your time
[CHORUS]
Make a move
I wish you’d make, make, make a move
I know shouldn’t ask you to
But you take, you take your time
[VERSE 2]
Oh, you appear in my door
Barring my escape
But it’s been three weeks or more
What could you have to say?
(You better tell me, now!)
‘Cause you know you saw me there
I was standin’ with my arms out
But it’s too late, too late, too late to care
And you take, you take, your time
You don’t make up your mind
[CHORUS]
Make a move
I wish you’d make, make, make a move
I know I shouldn’t ask you to
But you take, you take your time
Make a move
Why won’t you make, make, make a move
I know I shouldn’t ask you to
But you take, you take your time
You won’t make up your mind
[BRIDGE]
Man up
Look her in the eyes
Man up
Leave her behind
Man up
Push back when I push you down
Man up
Or dontcha come around
Man up
Or don’t come ‘round
[OUTRO]
Make a move
I wish you’d make, make, make a move
I know I shouldn’t ask you to
But you take, you take your--
Make a move
You never make, make, make a move
I never wanna ask you to
But you take, you take your time
You don’t make up your mind, boy

Goodbye, Romeo

[VERSE 1]
Eye contact
And that was that.
One look
Was all it took.
Walked through the door
You didn’t matter anymore.
Knees weak
I couldn’t speak.
I tip my hat
To every man
I reject, no disrespect
When you t-t-tip your hand.
I can’t resist
One look of his.
You were swell
You know I wish you well,
When I offer this
[CHORUS]
Goodbye Romeo
You were so nice to know
But I gotta move, I gotta move
I gotta-gotta move you on.
Farewell my shinin’ knight
The gloves are off, no need to fight
I gotta move, you gotta move,
I gotta-gotta move you on,
I got a new man.
[VERSE 2]
Don’t look back
Oh, it’s a fact.
In front of him, I
I feel alive again.
He’s got that,
I don’t know, but I just
Got to go.
It may be rough
And so you better stay tough.
And tip your hat
To every man
I reject, no disrespect
When you t-t-t-t-tip your hand.
I can’t resist
One look of his
You were swell,
And I wish you well
When I offer this
[CHORUS]
Goodbye Romeo
You were so nice to know
But I gotta move, I gotta move
I gotta-gotta move you on.
Farewell my shinin’ knight
The gloves are off, no need to fight
I gotta move, you gotta move,
I gotta-gotta move you on,
I got a new man.
[BRIDGE]
It sounds so
Cold and heartless.
And maybe I,
Ah-ah-I’m a bitch.
But baby
Forgive me
‘cause ah-ah-I
I got another scratch to itch.
[OUTRO]
Goodbye, Romeo
You were so
So nice to know.
Farewell, my shinin’ knight
The gloves are off
No need to fight
I got a new man.
Goodbye Romeo
You were so nice to know
But I gotta move, I gotta move
I gotta-gotta move you on.
Farewell my shinin’ knight
The gloves are off, no need to fight
I gotta move, you gotta move,
I gotta-gotta move you on,
I got a new man.
