[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

Achin' 03:52
[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

[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

[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.
