The Strokes

I didn't take no shortcuts

I spent the money that I saved up

Aw mama runnin' out of luck

Well like my sister don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence

To me my life it don't make sense

Your strange manners, I love you so

Why won't you wear your new trench coat



I should've worked much harder

I should have just not bothered

I never show up on weekdays

Somethin' that you learned yesterday

Drive you to work, you'll be on time

Your little problems, they're not yours they're mine

Come on listen to what I say

I've got some secrets that'll make you stay

I just want to turn you down

I just want a turn you around

You ain't never had nothin' I wanted but

I want it all, I just can't figure out

Nothin'



And all together it went well

We made pretend we were best friends

Then she said "Oh you're a freak"

They ordered me to make mistakes

Together again, like the beginnin'

It all works somehow in the end

The things we did the thing you hide

But for the record it's between you and I

Well like my sister don't give a fuck

I wanna steal your innocence

To me my life it just don't make any sense

Your strange manners I love them so

Why won't you wear your new trench coat

I just want to misbehave

I just want to be your slave

You ain't never had nothin' I wanted but

I want it all, I just can't figure out

Nothin'



And all together it went well

We made pretend we were best friends

Then she said "Oh I can wait"

They ordered me to make mistakes

Together again, like the beginnin'

It all works somehow in the end

The things we did the thing you hide

But for the record it's between you and I
