1, 2, shots to your heart

well sometimes i go out, by myself, and i look across the water

and i think of all the things, of what you're doing, and in my head i paint a picture

since i've come home, well my body's been a mess

and i miss your crazy hair, and the way you like to dress

oh wont you come on over, stop making a fool out of me

why don't you come on over, valerie

did you have to go to jail, put your house up for sale, did you get a good lawyer

i hope you didn't catch a tan, i hope you find the right man, who'll fix it for you

are you shopping anywhere, change the color of your hair, and are you busy

did you have to pay that fine, you were dodging all the time, are you still dizzy

since i've come home, well my body's been a mess

and i miss your crazy hair, and the way you like to dress

oh wont you come on over, stop making a fool out of me

why don't you come on over, valerie

valerie

ex boyfriends jeans

everybody's lookin at you like they want to,

like they wanna go home with you

i've got nothin keepin me here

i've waisted all the love that i hold dear

i'll throw a dart: L.A.

the wolf has run away

the guy you know who thinks he's so slick

he'll kiss you on the lips but he'll get sick

lothario

he's a creep you know

everybody's lookin at you like they want to

like they want to go home with you

i'm on your trail, i can smell your blood

i've had enough of unrequited love

its the coast i crave

leads me to my grave

still in my head was the sick of my spine

give it up and i will make you mine

i will buy you things

like diamond rings

everybody's lookin at you like they want to

like they wanna go home with you

i'll take you on a cruise to somewhere nice

you haven't been before

love was meant for more

you moved up close, i could feel your sweat

i kissed you on the neck and you got wet

its a shallow treat for a guy like me

everybody's lookin at you like they want to

like they wanna go home with you

disappear from your hometown

go and find the people that you know

show them all your good parts

leave town when the bad ones start to show

go and wed a woman

a pretty girl that you've never met

make sure she knows you love her well

but don't make any other promises.

the weight of lies will bring you down

and follow you to every town

cause nothing happens here that doesn't happen there

so when you run make sure you run 

to something and not away from

cause lies don't need an aeroplane to chase you anywhere.

i once heard the worse thing 

a man could do is draw a hungry crowd 

tell everyone his name, pride and confidence

but leaving out his doubt

i'm not sure i bought those words

when i was young i knew most everything

these words have never meant so much to anyone

as they now mean to me.

never let a woman go even when you know she can always be replaced

she can always be replaced

lust only grows like anger and revenge or beauty comes and goes but love

stays until the end

i wrote you a song mississippi isabel

i even sent you flowers when you felt ill

you've the strength of the greeks

you are god's masterpiece

you are every triumph, every victory

i believe in every breath you breathe

and i always imagined you'd be by my side

whether i'm hiding in the city or tearing through the wild

you're only an older noose on my throat

if your beauty is a fortress then my love will be the boat

fall in love with her. fall in love with you i must.

i'll consume every part of you to indulge my love lust.

never let a woman go even when you know she can be replaced

she can always be replaced

lust only grows like anger and revenge, or beauty comes and goes but love

stays until the end

never let a woman go even when you know

whether a flower in my hand or a gun in my hand,

i'd give it all up for your hand in my hand

for the sun on my skin as the morning begins,

i'd die in the dark just to feel your skin on my skin

never let a woman go even when you know

your soul

your love

your blood

treasure every beating heart that sets your soul on fire.

love will set your soul on fire.
