Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You came along for a weekend
But you only stayed for one night
You took off your hair
You pulled out your teeth
Oh, I almost died of fright
[Verse 2]
You'd better do something
For your own sake
Yeah, it's a shame, oh
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
[Verse 3]
You said you were a virgin
Full of promise and mystery, yeah
But I knew that you would bring me down
'Cause everyone calls you Big G, yeah
[Verse 4]
You'd better do something
For your own sake
Yes, it's a shame, oh
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
[Verse 5]
You said you're gonna love me, ah
You said you're gonna set me free
But I knew that you would bring me down
And, and cause me misery yeah
[Verse 6]
You'd better do something
For your own sake
Yeah, it's a shame, oh
Ah, you know you're a living wreck
