lyrics

i picked you out
of the crowd talked to you
said i like your shoes
you said thanks can i follow you
so it's up the stairs
and out of view
no prying eyes
i poured some wine
i asked your name
you asked the time

now it's two o'clock
the club is closed
we're up the block
your hands on me
pressing hard against my jeans
tongue in my mouth
trying to keep the words from coming out
you didn't care to know
who else may have been you before

i want a lover i don't have to love
i want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck
where is the kid with the chemicals
i've got a hunger and i can't seem to get full
i need some meaning i can memorize
the kind i have always seems to slip my mind

then my went dark
we both forgot where your car was parked
let's just take the train
we'll meet up with the band in the morning

bad actors with bad habits
some sad singers they just play tragic
and the phone's ringing
and the van's leaving
let's just keep touching
let's just keep, keep singing

i want a lover i don't have to love
i want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
where is the kid with the chemicals
i thought he said to meet him here but i'm not sure
i got the money if you got the time
he said it feels good, i said i'll give it a try

but you, but you, but you
you write such pretty words
but life's no story book
love's an excuse to get hurt
and to hurt
do you like to hurt?
i do, i do
then hurt me
hurt me
