Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, sucker
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey you, sucker
(Now there's nothing you can do)
[Verse 2]
Well, I haven't seen your face around town awhile
So I greeted you with a knowing smile
When I saw that girl up on your arm
I knew she won your heart with a fatal charm
I said, "Soul boy, let's hit the town"
I said, "Hey, boy, what's with the frown?"
But in return, all you could say
Was, "Hi, George, meet my fiancee"
[Verse 3]
Young guns having some fun
Crazy ladies keep them on the run
Wise guys, realize
There's danger in emotional ties
See me, single and free
No fears, no tears, what I want to be
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony
[Verse 4]
Hey, sucker
(What the hell's got into you?)
Hey, sucker
(Now there's nothing you can do)
[Verse 5]
A married man, you're out of your head
Sleepless nights on an H.P. bed
A daddy by the time you're 21
If you're happy with a nappy, then you're in for fun
But you're here and you're there
Well, there's guys like you just everywhere
Lookin' back on the good ol' days
Well, this young gun says (Caution pays)
[Verse 6]
Young guns havin' some fun
Crazy ladies keep 'em on the run
Wise guys, realize
There's danger in emotional ties
See me, single and free
No fears, no tears, what I want to be
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony
[Verse 7]
I remember when we had such fun
And everything was fine
I remember when we used to have a good time
Partners in crime
Tell me that's all in the past
And I will gladly walk away
Tell me that you're happy now
Turnin' my back, nothing to say
[Verse 8]
Hey, tell this jerk to take a hike
There's somethin' 'bout that boy I don't like
Well, sugar, he don't mean the things he said
Just get him outta my way, 'cause I'm seein' red
We got plans to make, we got things to buy
And you're wastin' time on some creepy guy
Hey, shut up, chick, that's a friend of mine
Just watch your mouth, babe, you're out of line
[Verse 9]
Get back (Hands off)
Go for it
Get back (Hands off)
Get back (Hands off)
Go for it
Get back (Hands off)
Get back (Hands off)
Go for it
Get back (Hands off)
Get back (Hands off)
Go for it
Get back (Hands off)
[Verse 10]
Young guns havin' some fun
Crazy ladies keep them on the run
Wise guys, realize
There's danger in emotional ties
See me, single and free
No fears, no tears, what I want to be
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony
[Verse 11]
Young guns having some fun
Crazy ladies keep them on the run
Wise guys, realize
There's danger in emotional ties
See me, single and free
No fears, no tears, what I want to be
One, two, take a look at you
Death by matrimony
