Paroles
[Verse 1]
I, who took the money?
Who took the money away?
I, I, I, I, it's always showtime
Here at the edge of the stage
[Verse 2]
And I, I, I wake up and wonder
What was the place?
What was the name?
We wanna wait, but here we go again
[Verse 3]
I takes over slowly
But doesn't last very long
I, I, I, I, no need to worry
Everything's under control
[Verse 4]
O-U-T, but no hard feelings
What do you know?
Take you away
We're being taken for a ride again
[Verse 5]
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
She has the smoke in her eyes
She's comin' up, goin' right through my heart
She's gonna give me surprise
[Verse 6]
I think it's right
Better than this
I think you can if you like
I got a girlfriend with bows in her hair
And nothing is better than that
Is it?
[Verse 7]
Whoa
Down in the basement
We hear the sound of machines
I, I, I, I'm drivin' in circles
Come to my senses sometimes
[Verse 8]
Why, why, why, why start it over?
Nothing was lost, everything's free
I don't care how impossible it seems
[Verse 9]
Somebody calls you, but you cannot hear
Get closer to be far away
And only one look and that's all that it takes
Maybe that's all that we need
[Verse 10]
All that it takes
I'll bet it's right
All it takes if it's right
[Verse 11]
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
And she goes wherever she likes
There she goes
[Verse 12]
I got a girlfriend that's better than that
Tonight, everyone's gettin' involved
She's movin' up, goin' right through my heart
We might not ever get caught
[Verse 13]
Goin' right through, try to stay cool
Goin' through, stayin' cool
I got a girlfriend she's better than that
And nothing is better than you
Wait a minute
[Verse 14]
I got a girlfriend that's better than this
But you don't remember at all
As we get older and stop makin' sense
You won't find her waitin' long
[Verse 15]
Stop makin' sense
Stop makin' sense
Stop makin' sense, makin' sense
[Verse 16]
I got a girlfriend she's better than that
And nothing is better than this
Is it?
