Sometimes you say things
you don’t mean
and it feels like a snakebite
Sometimes you say things
you don’t mean
and it feels like a snakebite
Well, one more time
and I’m out the door baby
One more time
and I’m out that door
One more time
and I can’t be held responsible
One more time
and baby that’s all
That does it
one more time
Say that again
and that’s it, it’s over
Say that again
and we are through
Say that again
and I’ll mail you all your things back
Say that again
say goodbye to me and you
That does it
that does it
that does it
there’ll be hell to pay
Sometimes you say things
you don’t mean
and it feels like a snakebite
Sometimes you say things
you don’t mean
and it feels like a snakebite
I lost a friend today
I lost a friend today
I’m going back to Virginia
I’m going back to stay
I’m going back today
I’m going back to stay
Hey, hey hey

She Sets Me On Fire

Well, she’s my grubby little angel
In her white shirt and those faded, faded jeans
There is music in her movements
Her eyes dart around the truth, or that’s how it seems
She can pick me up in one hand
Or put me down with one word
She’s uncut and unpolished, she’s uncontrollable
She’s everything you’ve heard
Then she sets me on fire x lots of times
Even dressed in black she looks like an angel
Standing in the doorway of her own Heartbreak Hotel
If I am superman then she is kryptonite
If she is Tarzan I guess that makes me Jane
She warns that it’s a cruel world
It’s a cruel, cruel world that’s about to get cruel to you
When she tells you life is hard
Something tells you that it’s true
Then she sets me on fire x 100 times
She warns that it’s a cruel world
It’s a cruel, cruel world that’s about to get cruel to you
When she tells you life is hard
Something tells you that it’s true
Then she sets me on fire x 1000000000
