Well you hate the way I shuffle
But you love the way I deal
You don't mind if I borrow
But you'd rather watch me steal
You take what you've forgiven
And you put it in a drug
In case you need it later
Just to even up the score
Chorus:
Oh, oh, how did we get in to this mess?
Oh, I know, gotta get you out
Out of that little black dress
We get up and join the circus
Take this show out on the road (come on, let's go)
Girl if you wanna keep the light on
You got to pay'em what they own (I know, I know)
Yeah you're often planting flowers
Are they ever gonna bloom?
I'm up here with a guitar and another empty room
(chorus)
Come on
Baby you put me in the corner
But girl I haven't done a thing
Yeah you give me all the answers
But I don't know what they mean
You say you'll take me places
Show me things I've never seen
Say baby start the engine and then you hide the keys
Oh, oh, how did we get in to this mess?
Oh, I know, gotta get you, gotta get you, wanna get you out of that
Oh, oh, how did we get in to this mess?
Oh, I know, gotta get you out, out of that little black dress
Wanna see your hair all in a mess
That little black dress, come on
Just let it fall to the floor
You ain't gonna need those high heeled sneakers no more
Step into the frame
