It`s been ten long years since I`ve been home
I`ve been waiting here with nowhere to go
It`s an occupation I don`t like
But it pays the rent and turns on the light (alright)
I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose and runaway with me
We`ll go out every night
I`ll be there by your side
And we`ll all get high down the old west side
If it ain`t the job and it ain`t the place
But I must stay for your pretty face
It`s a bad reaction I can`t fix
You conned me with those feline tricks
And I told you so
It`s a crazy world
For a mixed-up guy
And a no-good girl
And I told you so
It`s a crazy world
For a mixed-up guy
With a no-good girl
(Take her, take the world)
I told you so
It has to be
Cut loose and run away (run away) with me
We`ll go out every night
I`ll be there by your side
And we`ll all get high down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
Down the old west side
(Take the world, yeah)
