Lyrics

We were smoking on the sidewalk
After the show
We got paid a hundred fifty
That we split between four
Makes me wanna get a job
Cuz I hate being poor
And I'm glad you came to see me
But where did you go?
You were talking to Carhartt jacketed twen
Who could probly kick my ass
Nine times out of ten
He was pulling out the stops
Really trying his best
And I think I better stop
Cuz its been on my mind all week
Just another dive bar creep
But if he's got eyes for you
I hope he's got eyes for me
Cuz soon we'll walk out the bar
And soon we'll get in my car
And soon we'll be skin to skin
The backseat begins to spin, spin
And through the window
He can watch me touch you
He can watch me touch you
Let me in so
He can watch me touch you
He can watch me touch you
I'm letting him know
He could never love you
Quite the way I love you
Make it simple
He can watch me touch you
He can watch me
And I hope that it eats him up to watch me touch you
So I drove up to toronto and they laughed in my face
So I drove down to chicago and I got a new place
Now i know my bad habits never pleaded my case
But I'm trying so hard to keep a smile on my face
From the Standale sidewalks and fancy cars
To the Wicker Park pergolas and trendy bars
From the tip top drunk Treehouse uncouth
After all the record shows I never did it for you
After all the record shows I never did it for you
After all the record shows I never did it for you
When it all adds up to nothing baby what will I do
After all the record shows
It's been on my mind all week
Just another dive bar creep
But if he's got eyes for you
I hope he's got eyes for me
Cuz soon we'll walk out the bar
And soon we'll get in my car
And soon we'll be skin to skin
The backseat begins to spin, spin
And through the window
He can watch me touch you
He can watch me touch you
Let me in so
He can watch me touch you
He can watch me touch you
I'm letting him know
He could never love you
Quite the way I love you
Make it simple
He can watch me touch you
He can watch me
And I hope that it eats him up to watch me touch you
Ohhh
And I hope that it eats him up to watch me touch you
To watch me touch you
And I hope that it eats him up to watch me touch you
