Lyrics
I wouldn't say you were my lover
Just the last regret I had after the others
I can't explain my twisted ways
God, tell me that this shit is just a phase
I'm always making the wrong decision
Messing up, I do it with precision
I gotta get my head on straight
Before I wake up to another mistake
Somebody slap me in the face
Tell me that I'm such a disgrace
Hurt me, tie me down and shout
Somebody help me out
It's just another sad Sunday
Repressing all I did since last Monday
It's like I'm stuck in happy hour
I'd straighten out but I ain't got the power
So somebody cut the limes and pour down the salt
I'm hardwired for this, baby, it's not my fault
This road I'm on only goes one way
And I'll be free tomorrow if you're ready to play
Somebody slap me in the face
Tell me that I'm such a disgrace
Hurt me, tie me down and shout
Somebody help me out
Somebody slap me in the face
Can you take a look at my case?
Gotta find a different route
Somebody help me out, out, out
Listen baby
I'm out on a limb
I'm a saint below this shell of sin
I don't like it
I can't hide it
Too weak and I cannot fight it
Somebody slap me in the face
Tell me that I'm such a disgrace
Hurt me, tie me down and shout
Somebody help me out
Somebody slap me in the face
Can you take a look at my case?
Gotta find a different route
Somebody help me out, out, out
Somebody slap me in the face
Tell me that I'm such a disgrace
Hurt me, tie me down and shout
Somebody help me out...damn.
