We'll get Bhigh at the Waffle EHouse
Doesn't Bmatter what we talk aEbout
Did you Bsweat through your sheets last Enight
Or did you Gbleach the blood out Aof 'em?
You've been Btryin' to control yourEself
What's a Bboundary if you cannot Ebreak it?
I've been Bwonderin' that myEself
Because Gdespite my better Anature
[Chorus]
BAll I Awant is for someEone to take adGvantage Aof me
I'll Bbet you don't know Aany other EwayG  A

Because it Aalways ends the Esame

But I've been Bprayin' to a Egod
That I Bmocked since I was Eyoung
'Cause I can Bhold a grudge so Elong
GOn and on and Aon and on and
