Now you know what to do

So come on

Feelin’ good

Let the record play,

Let the record play,

Let the record play.

The way that you dance,

The way that you move,

The way that you stare at me across the room,

You carry Dior bags,

And you got your Chanel,

You wear Louis Vuitton, HG, and YSL,

Now I got Bathing Ape,

I got DCMA

I got brass knuckles hanging,

From my neck and my chain,

I got a model 26,

But she stays in her place,

I got a kershaw neatly,

Tucked inside in my waist.

And the record keeps playing,

The same old song,

The hipsters mean mugging on me all night long,

They say "Aha, ahha",

Keep your hands off my girl,

Keep your hands off my girl,

They say "Aha, ahha",

But the record keeps playing,

The same old song,

They say "Aha, ahha",

Keep your hands off my girl,

Keep your hands off my girl.

Now she's sweating my friends,

And my hurricane shoes,

She likes the records I spin,

My Adam Barton tattoos,

But she can't say "what's up",

So what does she do,

She just stays posted up,

The other side of the room,

I got AMC tattooed on my hand,

I got black wall street on a black bandana.

And the record keeps playing,

The same old song,

The hipsters mean mugging on me all night long,

They say "Aha, ahha",

Keep your hands off my girl,

Keep your hands off my girl,

They say "Aha, ahha",

But the record keeps playing,

The same old song,

They say "Aha, ahha",

Keep your hands off my girl,

Keep your hands off my girl.

She, she, she don't wanna talk about it,

He, he, he wants to fight about,

Me, me, I don't wanna fight about it,

I just wanna be about it,

I'm just trying to stay up out it,

Step out the wagon,

You know the boy starts to hate,

The girls that came with him,

They like that's not the boy she dates,

They get the fighting and swearing,

And now the boyfriend is staring,

The disco ball on the ceiling,

Looks like the chain that I'm wearing,

But the music keeps playing,

I got brass knuckles hanging,

from my neck and my chain,

I got brass knuckles hanging,

from my neck and my chain.

And the record keeps playing,

The same old song,

The hipsters mean mugging on me all night long,

They say "Aha, ahha",

Keep your hands off my girl,

Keep your hands off my girl,

And the record keeps playing,

The same old song,

The hipsters mean mugging on me all night long,

They say "Aha, ahha",

Keep your hands off my girl,

Keep your hands off my girl.

You carry Dior bags,

And you got your Chanel,

You wear Louis Vuitton, HG, and YSL,

Now I got Bathing Ape,

I got DCMA,

I got brass knuckles hanging,

From my neck and my chain,

I got brass knuckles hanging,

From my neck and my chain.

Oh oh Oh oh Oh, Oh oh Oh oh Oh,

Oh oh Oh oh Oh, Oh oh Oh oh Oh,

Oh oh Oh oh Oh, Oh oh Oh oh Oh.

In the beginning, I tried to warn you

You play with fire, it's gonna burn you

And here we are now, same situation

You never listen, I never listen

Now I am thinking of a way that I can make an escape

It's got me caught up in a web and my hearts the prey

Do you really wanna throw your heart away, away, away?

Everybody's hurt somebody before

Everybody's been hurt by somebody before

You can change but you'll always come back for more

It's a game and we are all just victims of love.

Don't try to fight it, victims of love

You can't decide it, victims of love

Oh oh Oh oh Oh, victims of love

Oh oh Oh oh Oh.

Now you've back tracked, you're running away

'cause it just happened again and you just want it to end

You're trying your best not to let yourself go cold, so cold.

Now you think about the things you thought you wanted to say

But when you open up your mouth it don't come out that way

Are you really gonna throw your heart away, away, away?

Everybody's hurt somebody before

Everybody's been hurt by somebody before

You can change but you'll always come back for more

It's a game and we are all just victims of love.

Don't try to fight it, victims of love

You can't decide it, victims of love

Oh oh Oh oh Oh, victims of love

Oh oh Oh oh Oh, victims of love.

In the beginning, I tried to warn you

You play with fire, it's gonna burn you

And here we are now, same situation,

You never listen, I never listen

Everybody's hurt somebody before

Everybody's been hurt by somebody before

You can change but you'll always come back for more

It's a game and we are all just victims of love.

Everybody's hurt somebody before

Everybody's been hurt by somebody before

You can change but you'll always come back for more

It's a game and we are all just victims of love.

Don't try to fight it, victims of love

You can't decide it, victims of love

Oh oh Oh oh Oh, victims of love

Oh oh Oh oh Oh, victims of love.

I smile, you laugh, I look away

I sigh, you ask me why, I say,

It's ok and I am just feeling' down

Your hand on mine I hear the words

If only love had found us first,

Our lives they would be different, oh

So I stand and wait, I am just a man, oh

Where would we be now baby,

If we found each other first,

Where would we be now baby,

And now I must confess, that I am a sinking ship

And I'm anchored by the weight of my heart

Cause its filled with these feelings

But I keep my true thought locked, beside my hearts black box

And it wont be found, it won't survive through the smoke or the wreckage

So I crash and burn, I got a lot of things to learn, oh

Where would we be now baby,

If we found each other first

What would you do now darling,

If I said these simple words

I'll wait, I'll wait

As long as you want

But where would we be now baby

I'll wait, I'll wait

Where would we be now baby,

If we found each other first

What would you do now darling,

If I said these simple words

I'll wait, I'll wait

As long as you want

But where would we be now baby

I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait

When you call she doesn't answer, when you write she doesn't answer

You go out you see him with her, she told you she was sick at home

The ring you gave her thrown away with all the letters

And when you see him with her, he doesn't even care at all

As she follows him around like you follow her around

And he doesn't even care and your figuring out

The only way your gonna keep somebody around

Well I'm about to let you know

There's something I don't wanna understand

The only way a woman is gonna want a man

The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands

Is breaking apart her heart

Don't tell her she is the reason that you live

Don't give her everything that you got to give

If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live

Just break it apart her heart

Can't you see the way she's crying

Well that's what keeps her trying, she knew that she could have you

And he don't give her what she wants

There's truth about this, you say you want to be noticed

Well if you want to be noticed you gotta learn to break some hearts

Don't try to understand

There's something I don't wanna understand

The only way a woman is gonna want a man

The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands

Is breaking apart her heart

Don't tell her she is the reason that you live

Don't give her everything that you got to give

If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live

Just break it apart her heart

Can't you see what you've done?

What I've become, what I've become

Can't you see? Can't you see?

I don't understand this cruelty

I don't understand but now I see

There's something I don't wanna understand

The only way a woman is gonna want a man

The only way you'll ever keep her in your hands

Is breaking apart her heart

Don't tell her she is the reason that you live

Don't give her everything that you got to give

If you want to keep the girl for as long as you live

Just break it apart her heart

I don't understand this cruelty

I don't understand... its just not me

I don't understand this cruelty

But now I see

Take a look at my life, all black

Take a look at my clothes, all black

Like Johnny Cash, all black

Like The Rolling Stones wanna paint it black

Like the night that we met, all black

Like the colour of your dress, all black

Like the seats in my Cadillac

I used to see red, now it's just all black

As long as I could remember I dreamed in black and white

As I grew up and the sun went down, I never felt more alright

My mother she use to tell me: Son you better get to church

It's a dark, dark world and it's evil out there and you know it's only getting worse

Yeah, I've never been much for weddings or anniversaries but

I go to a funeral if I'm invited any day of the week

Some people say that I sound strange, some say that I'm not right

But I find beauty in this world every single night

Take a look at my life, all black

Take a look at my clothes, all black

Like Johnny Cash, all black

Like The Rolling Stones wanna paint it black

Like the night that we met, all black

Like the colour of your dress, all black

Like the seats in my Cadillac

I used to see red, now it's just all black

I sat down at her table at the end of the night

She was having black coffee and a cigarette, she wasn't wearing white

She said, people tell me that I'm strange, they say that I am not right

She said, the only time I feel alive is in the dead of night

I think I found the one for me

Take a look at my life, all black

Take a look at my clothes, all black

Like Johnny Cash, all black

Like The Rolling Stones wanna paint it black

Like the night that we met, all black

Like the colour of your dress, all black

Like the seats in my Cadillac

I used to see red, now it's just all black

I remember feeling so alive

The night I looked into her eyes

Take a look at my life, all black

Take a look at my clothes, all black

Like Johnny Cash, all black

Like The Rolling Stones wanna paint it black

Like the night that we met, all black

Like the colour of your dress, all black

Like the seats in my Cadillac

I used to see red, I used to see red

Take a look at my life (all black)

Take a look at my life (all black)

Take a look at my life (all black)

All black, all black

Take a look at my life (all black)

Take a look at my life (all black)

Take a look at my life (all black)

All black, all black, all black, all black, all black

Mother can we start over?

I wanna be the boy I was back then

Before the world came, made me colder

I wanna feel the way I did back then

With love in my heart.

We live in a beautiful place

Let love take away all this pain

We live in a beautiful place, ah oh

We wasted so many days

Our hearts are as dark as the rain

We live in a beautiful place, ah oh

Father, can we start over?

Take me to the places that we lived

Before the days came, made us older

I wanna feel the way I did back then

Before my heart grew cold.

We live in a beautiful place

Let love take away all this pain

We live in a beautiful place, ah oh

We wasted so many days

Our hearts are as dark as the rain

We live in a beautiful place, ah oh, ah oh

Our hearts are as dark as the rain, ah oh

Our hearts are as dark as the rain, ah oh

It's a beautiful place if we make it

It's a beautiful place to be wasted, don’t you know?

We live in a beautiful place,

Let love take away all this pain,

We live in a beautiful place, ah oh

We live in a beautiful place,

Let love take away all this pain,

We live in a beautiful place, ah oh, ah oh

We wasted so many days

Our hearts are as dark as the rain

We live in a beautiful place, ah oh, ah oh

She is a diamond, I am a stone

I come from nowhere, she's been to Rome

Her daddy's a lawyer and mines not around

She has good manners, I'm rough all around

But you could come from something, you could come from nothing

You could be a princess, you could be a working man

But in the end...

We all want something else (We all want something else)

We all want something we can't have

We all want something else (We all want something else)

We all want something strange to us

Maybe a roll in the dirt, or it's a seat in first class

We all want something we can't have.

She wants to go to restaurants in Beverly Hills and people stare

But I don't care it's just what she grew up around.

She drags me to parties where people ask me where I went to college

She knows damn well I barely finished school.

She knows a lot about yearly salaries and trust funds and dividends

She knows that I don't really care at all

But we got together and it's working ok

You could come from something, you could come from nothing

You could be a princess, you could be a working man

But in the end...

We all want something else (We all want something else)

We all want something we can't have

We all want something else (We all want something else)

We all want something strange to us

Maybe a roll in the dirt, or it's a seat in first class

We all want something we can't have.

Well you can spend your whole life looking for something,

Something that might be right in front of your eyes,

but you'll be looking for something else you'll never find.

We all want something else (All want something else)

We all want something we can't have

We all want something else (All want something else)

We all want something strange to us

We all want something else (All want something else)

We all want something we can't have

We all want something else (All want something else)

We all want something strange to us

Maybe a roll in the dirt, or it's a seat in first class

We all want something we can't have.

Oh oh Oh, oh Oh oh, here we go, Oh oh Oh, oh Oh oh,

Oh oh Oh, oh Oh oh

We got problems, we don't know how to solve them

Everywhere we go, we got some skeleton's that follow

We got baggage, you know we're gonna drag it

everywhere we go, for everyone to see

In the broken hearts parade

and I'm putting my heart out on display there's no,

masquerade, just a funeral march for love today

the band strikes up and they're playing our song

Dressed in black and we're singing along, to the

broken hearts parade, I've never been better than I am today

Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh

You got a question, how do we get it started?

I got an answer: let go of your heart and

love it, live it, leave it and get into it

If you wanna start it, this is how you do it

In the broken hearts parade

and I'm putting my heart out on display there's no,

masquerade, just a funeral march for love today

the band strikes up and they're playing our song

Dressed in black and we're singing along, to the

broken hearts parade and I've never been better than I am today

I used to lie awake at night and wonder when she's coming home

It used to be so hard to wake up everyday

The broken hearts parade

and we're putting our hearts out on display there's no,

masquerade, just a funeral march for love today

the band strikes up and they're playing our song

Dressed in black and we're singing along, to the

broken hearts parade and I've never been better than I am today
