lyrics

Verse)
Well it's a long way back to the city so I'm takin' it slow
She's got my bags packed up in a car on the side of the road
So get in or get out little darlin' c'mon runnin' back home to your mama
And when you find something you better find it out there on you own

(Verse)
I said my baby don't know what she wants but she knows what she said
She's got her space staked off with a line down the side of the bed
So go to sleep go to sleep little darlin'
I need an eight hour break from your drama
And when you close your eyes you better think about what I said, what I said

(Chorus)
Boy you better watch yourself she's a killer with a cocaine smile
Whoa she'll make you lose your health then she'll leave 'cause you ain't her style.
But baby tell me why tell tell me why you got me steppin' in the these concrete shoes.
Oh well, I can try I can try but I can never sink as low as you. I'll never sink as low as you

(Verse)
So baby hush your mouth and just listen up to what I say.
Watch my tail lights fade in the dark as I'm drivin' away.
Said are you pleased are you pleased little darlin'?
You've gotta get yourself right with your karma.
And when you close your eyes you better think about what I said, what I said.

(Chorus)
Boy you better watch yourself she's a killer with a cocaine smile
Whoa she'll make you lose your health then she'll leave 'cause you ain't her style.
But baby tell me why tell tell me why you got me steppin' in the these concrete shoes.
Oh well, I can try I can try but I can never sink as low as you. I'll never sink as low as you.
