Lyrics
Ten dollar lapdance
3 vodka sodas, then I'm back on the job
Now I have sunken so low
She got to be like, she's got to be like a drug
Feel like I'm chasin' a buzz
May not be perfect, but if she takes me I'll try
I'm not above settling for damaged goods
It may seem cheap, but no crime
Don't let it go to waste
Chorus:
I used to think there was destiny, so foolish
Look where it got me
Don't be so careful of what you wish for
How could I not see?
Look where it got me..............
Behind the motel
the cops are sweeping, we's better lay low
I'm sure you've done this before
I knew she's be like, I knew she'd be like a drug
And so, I gotta kick off
I knew she'd feel like, that she would fit like a glove
I'm not above settling for damaged goods
I'm not some freak, it's no crime
And I just want the taste........
Chorus:
I used to think there was destiny, so foolish
Look where it got me
Don't be so careful of what you wish for
(do it 3 times)
I used to think there was destiny, so foolish
How could I not see?
Look where it got me..............
