Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been living without you

I know all about you

I have run you down into the ground

Spread disease about you over town

[Verse 2]

I used to adore you

I couldn't control you

There was nothing that I wouldn't do

To keep myself around and close to you

[Verse 3]

Do you have an opinion?

A mind of your own?

I thought you were special

I thought you should know

But I've run out of patience

I couldn't care less

[Verse 4]

Do you have an opinion?

A mind of your own?

I thought you were special

I thought you should know

[Verse 5]

I used to amuse you

I knew that I'd lose you

Now you're here and begging for a chance

But there's no way in hell I'd take you back

[Verse 6]

Do you have an opinion?

A mind of your own?

I thought you were special

I thought you should know

But I've run out of patience

I've run out of comments

I'm tired of the violence

I couldn't care less

[Verse 7]

I'm looking for a new

I'm looking for a new

I'm looking for a new

I'm looking for a new

[Verse 8]

We were the talk of the town

We were the talk of the town

We were the talk of the town

We were the talk of the town

[Verse 9]

I thought you were special

I thought you were special

I thought you were special

I thought you were special
