| You were so young, young and dumb
|
| You were the baddest, the biggest, the bestest, burned out one
|
| You filled a bill, you kept it fun
|
| But there was always something coming up that you couldn’t outrun
|
| You were
|
| Wrecking, the wrecking, the wrecking, wrecking ball
|
| We always knew you’d hit the wall
|
| Wrecking, the wrecking, the wrecking, wrecking ball
|
| We always knew you would fall down
|
| My mother said the very next one and you are not it
|
| My mama said the very next one and you are not it
|
| You once were hot and we were cold
|
| All the trash you’d leave behind would just burn into gold
|
| You were a fire, out of control
|
| But nothing stays that pretty when it’s oversold
|
| You were
|
| Wrecking, the wrecking, the wrecking, wrecking ball
|
| We always knew you’d hit the wall
|
| Wrecking, the wrecking, the wrecking, wrecking ball
|
| We always knew you would fall down
|
| My mother said the very next one and you are not it
|
| My mama said the very next one and you are not it
|
| Wrecking, the wrecking, the wrecking, wrecking ball
|
| We always knew you’d hit the wall
|
| Wrecking, the wrecking, the wrecking, wrecking ball
|
| We always knew you would fall down
|
| My mama said (x4)
|
| My mother said the very next one and you are not it
|
| My mama said the very next one and you are not it |
