You said it was a waste of time
You said that I would change my mind
You said I'd lose my only chance to go and get her
In turns out you don't really know what you've been missin', my friend
You might have her now I got something better

Never took a chance on fate
And boredom comes to those who wait
And if there is a lady luck, I never met her
You never get a chance for life unless you live it, my friend
You might have her now I got something better

You said it was a waste of time
You said that I would change my mind
You said I'd lose my only chance to go on get her
In turns out you don't really know what you've been missin', my friend
You might have her now I got something better

Kicking time on filthy streets no money left to spend
Still sickened by the night before my brain is on the mend
Way up ahead I see a crowd and flashing blue red light
I run to see the carnage of some hooker who's been nice
It's just a freak show

Never know what's goin' on just happy to exist
Drunk faces on the subway cars who're riding in their piss
Oh where's the space, a waste of time, a waste of energy
I'm locked inside the circus with a thousand casualties
It's just a freak show

Sitting disco pumped and fueled with whores in skin-tight clothes
Some even have a hymen tucked inside their pantyhose
I love the lights, I love the fights and poverty grotesque
Come join me in my big time life and waste into this mess
It's just a freak show...

As I stumble to the home I've carved out of this mess
I think about the foolish ones who dream of happiness
To tell the truth I'm a happy man, and happier I'll be
When I awake to the freak show that is put in front of me
It's just a freak show...

Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why
Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why
Each day when I awake I thank my lucky star
Was a time when I had no peace of mind now there you are
Now I got you and I never need anymore
So it's time to throw those lies out the door
For a moment or two I throw some modest on you
See if you stick around anymore

Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why
Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why
No need for excuses no need to lie
Now it's time to tell you if you don't mind
Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why
Let me tell you what it is you mean to me
Let me tell you why

There's a place where we all go to have a few when we feel low
Drink ourselves into a state, drown our sorrow and fuel our hate
A bar maid beauty in a tight black dress pours our beer and cleans our mess
Answers to the name of Maggie Mae, wait'll we see her what'll we say?

Maggie Mae
bring us another beer
we need another beer
Take away our troubles, dear
Maggie Mae
bring us another beer
we need another beer
Take away our troubles, dear

"Same Old Song" Originally written by The Four Tops

You're sweet as a honey bee, but like a honey bee stings,
You've gone and left my heart in pain.
All you left was our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories of a different lover that used to be

(chorus: Now it's the same old song, but with a different meaning since
you've been gone. It's the same old song, but with a different
meaning since you've been gone.)

Sentimental fool, am I, to hear that old love song, and wanna cry
But the melody, keeps haunting me, reminding me of the love we used to be
I keep hearing the part that used to touch our heart singing
Ever, forever, darling, breaking up never

(Chorus)

Precious memories keep lingering on, every time I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone, there's just emptiness.
I only reminisce the happiness is true
We used to dance to the music, make romance to the music

(chorus)x3

In through your window at night, stars are shining bright
I see your silhouette and my blood begins to rise
Don't know what is it that you do, little prostitute
I offer you a pleasure bribe, ten bucks I'm inside

I look into your widened eyes, how many other guys?
Are gonna see and be with you, can you tell the truth?
Don't know what is it that you do, little prostitute
I offer you a pleasure bribe, ten bucks I'm inside

Doesn't take much money to put you in your place
I've got one half hour to not look at your face

The time I pay for you is through, what else can I do?
I turn and walk on down the street, I'll be back next week
Don't know what is it that you do, little prostitute
I offer you a pleasure bribe, ten bucks I'm inside

Well I woke up this morning to your tap, tap,
tappin' at my front door, Girl take it easy
Well I woke up this morning to your knock, knock,
knockin' at my front door, Girl take it easy
Cause my head was ham, ham, hammerin' from the beers
that we tap, tap, tappin' the night before, Girl take it easy
And I remember stammerin' as you and I were
staggerin' at my front door, Girl take it easy

Well I rolled over very gently in my king size bed
when I happened to notice a lovely young lady's head
I thought to myself, my God what have I done
I've been drinkin' again and havin' too much fun
Well I rolled over very gently in my king size bed
when I happened to notice a lovely young lady's head
I thought to myself, my God what have I done
I been drinkin' again and havin' too much fun

Girl, girl, girl, won't you come back tomorrow
Girl, girl, girl, won't you come back tomorrow

Well I woke up this morning to your knock,
knock, knockin' at my front door, Girl take it easy
Well I woke up this morning to your bang, bang,
bangin' at my front door, Girl take it easy
Cause my head was ham, ham, hammerin' from the beers
that we were tap, tap, tappin' the night before, Girl take it easy
And I remember stammerin' as you and I were staggerin'
at my front door, Girl take it easy

Well I rolled over very gently in my king size bed
when I happened to notice a lovely young lady's head
I thought to myself, my God what have I done
I been drinkin' again and havin' too much fun
Girl, girl, girl, won't you come back tomorrow
Girl, girl, girl, won't you come back tomorrow

Oh she didn't bat an eye as I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would start to cry sit around my room and weep
But you're the girl, she fooled me this time,
She acted like I was the last thing on her mind
I would like to start all over again

As I took those steps towards that open door
Knowing all the time oh lord I just didn't wanna go
But she didn't give me no sign, nothing that would make
me change my mind, I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind, please, please, please, baby

Oh I played my games, many times before
But people let me tell you all, oh I never reached that door
But, oh, the wind is hard tonight,
I keep lookin' back but my baby's not in sight
I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind, please, please, please, baby

I think i love you even more than I did the night before
The night before we met
I think i love you even more than I did the night before
The night before we met

Did you ever think that if you thought about it won't come true
Did you ever hope that if you hoped it won't happen to you
Think back to the day we met when I assaulted you
Did you ever guess about this mess that we had gotten into
And when you walked in my door I said
I know that you'll be gone once more
And when you walked out my door I said
I know that you'll be back for more

Did you ever see that if I saw that we would be apart
Did you ever feel I might've felt if you would break my heart
Did you ever think that if I thought about you as my girl
Did you ever know I never show how much you change my world
Did you ever think that if you thought about it won't come true
Did you ever hope that if you hoped it won't happen to you
Think back to the day we met when I assaulted you
Did you ever guess about this mess that we had gotten into
And when you walked in my door I said
I know that you'll be gone once more
And when you walked out my door I said
I know that you'll be back for more
(babble)

I think i love you even more than I did the night before
The night before you left
I think i love you even more than I did the night before
The night before you left...

Well I told you once let me tell you again
I never ever wanted to be your best friend
All I really wanted to do is get to know you
All I really wanted to do is get to know you
Well I told you once let me tell you again
I never ever wanted to be your best friend
All I really wanted to do is get to know you
All I really wanted to do is get to know you
In the biblical sense, girl.
In the biblical sense, girl.
In the biblical sense, girl
In the biblical sense, girl

Samson and Delila, Adam and his wife
David and his Concubine knock me outta sight
Adam and Eve you know they wore the fig leaf
Now let's lose the apple and plant the seed
Well I told you once let me tell you again
I never ever wanted to be your best friend
All I really wanted to do is get to know you.
All I really wanted to do is get to know you
In the biblical sense, girl.
In the biblical sense, girl
In the biblical sense, girl
In the biblical sense, girl

I wanna get to know you on the dance floor
I wanna get to know you out by the back door
I wanna get to know you in the present tense
I wanna get to know you in the biblical sense, girl
In the biblical sense, girl.
In the biblical sense, girl
In the biblical sense, girl

Walking down the street with a bottle of gin
Double vision crossing, now my head full of sin
Stumbling along watch the car lights pass
I wish I got the number of the girl in class
Cool malt liquor is the fuel of life, drowns the sorrow, pain and strife
All I'll have to serve is a big red bowl,
Swimming in toilet pee in your pool.

Walking down the street with a bottle of gin
Double vision crossing, now my head full of sin
Stumbling along watch the car lights pass
I wish I got the number of the girl in class
Blood clots, seed like, mouse in traps
Scurry for the cover before the attacks
Movin' up on you tonight
When the fist start a flying I'll be feeling alright

(chorus: 'Cause I'm bigger than you and I'm badder than you
Bigger than you, and I'm badder than you
Bigger than you, and I'm badder than you
And I'll beat you down like George beat Weezie)

(chorus) x2
