Get out of my face Get out of my place Why you acting like there ain't been changes? Cut out of my life Cut just like a knife Girl, wish that we were both just strangers Walk, walking the walk Talk, talking the talk living permanently in detention Wait, waiting around Pace, pacing the ground Trying hard just to avoid attention And when the night falls don't be making house calls on a pre-owned heart Stalled dead in the dark 'Cause I've been burned out by the way it turned out Living with my own doubt trying to start a pre-owned heart Believe when I say I'm leaving today Packing up and putting you behind me I'm back on the grind, money on my mind Going places where you can't come find me And when the night falls don't be making house calls on a pre-owned heart Stalled dead in the dark 'Cause I've been burned out by the way it turned out Living with my own doubt trying to start a pre-owned heart Looking out for someone new to miss me Heavy hands are what I stock and trade Tattered like a paperback mystery that you bought only to throw away Full of words and looking for the answers Nothing ventured nothing ever gained Running to you like a northern dancer singing nothing but the same refrain It goes on And the beat goes on
