Lyrics
He's wanted now, dead or alive
Oh, he's a sucker for a pair of reds
A fool for their eyes
But I've heard he's a really great man
Yeah, somewhere deep down
He's a stand-up fucking man!
So if you ever find yourself inside a room for two
And this man comes up and he talks to you
Alert the town, we'll capture him quick
Alert the town, oh, he's already left
You held me
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
She told him
You're so handsome
You're so fucking handsome, baby
Now I can't even remember or try to convey
In words what happened to me on the day
He took all that he ever could- she trusted him well
Trusted him good, good, good
All at once he said to me
"You gotta keep it calmed down before it kills me!"
Before I wake up, waste my time
Got a fist full of minutes, but I'm making it right
You held me
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
She told him
You're so handsome
You're so fucking handsome, baby
Please state your name
State it loud and clear
He replies with arrogance- she overhears
Crooks her neck like she is caught
On the words she said, the way I talk!
Up for ransom, up for ransom
Up for ransom, up for ransom
Up for ransom, up for ransom
You held me
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
Up for ransom!
She told him
You're so handsome
You're so fucking handsome, baby-
Oh my god!
