DComing out of my cAage
And I've been doin' just fGine
Gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
DIt started out with a kAiss
How did it end up like tGhis?
It was only a kiss
It was only a kiss
DNow I'm falling aslAeep
And she's calling a cGab
While he's having a smoke
And she's taking a drag
DNow they're going to bAed
And my stomach is siGck
And it's all in my head
But she's touching his cBmhest now
He takes off her drAess now
Let me gGo
