White Knuckles |
| White knuckles came down to put the frighteners on I believe shes the one that hes got his heart set on It doesnt matter if your face doesnt fit |
| Theres no charge for changing it Oooh ooh |
| What are you doing |
| You see right through him |
| You dont have to take it when he gets cruel |
| White knuckles on black and blue skin |
| (1,4) you dont have to take it so you just give in |
| (2,3) he didnt mean to hit her but she kept laughing |
| White knuckles sweatin on the headboard |
| He never found out what the kisser was for |
| Losing face with the boys while shes whispering in his ear |
| They never found out why they called it laughing gear |
| Maybe they werent loved when they were young |
| Maybe they should be hung by their tongues |
| Oooh ooh |
| Under the blankets with the body jerk |
| He needs her like the axe needs the turkey |
| Making a mockery of his fancy footwork |
| Theres always someone new to toy with when the penny drops in the slot |
| Now its all petty crime on the news at nine |
| But its all shes got |
| Love on the never never dreams dont come cheap |
| I dont close my eyes when I go to sleep |
| Oooh ooh |
| It gets right under your skin |
| It makes you as miserable as sin but |
| You dont have to take it so you just give in Why dont you come round anymore |
| Mama said |
| Hes using you |
| Sister said |
| I told you so too |
| When he goes through your head |
| You took him to be true |
