Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wash your back so you won't stab mine
Get in bed with your own kind
Live your life so you don't see mine
Drape your back so you won't shine
[Verse 2]
Wash your back so you won't stab mine
Get in bed with your own kind
Live your life so you don't see mine
Drape your back so you won't shine
[Verse 3]
Ooh then she holds my hand
And I lie to get a smile
Ooh then she holds my hand
And I lie to get a smile
[Verse 4]
Using what I want
To get what you want
Using what I want
To get what you want
Using what I want
To get what you want
Using what I want
To get what you want
[Verse 5]
Ooh sweet Amber
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
[Verse 6]
Chase the rabbit, fetch the stick
She rolls me over 'till I'm sick
She deals in habits, deals in pain
I run away, but I'm back again
[Verse 7]
Chase the rabbit, fetch the stick
She rolls me over 'till I'm sick
She deals in habits, deals in pain
I run away, but I'm back again
[Verse 8]
Mmm then she holds my hand
And I lie to get a smile
Ooh, yeah
Mmm, and she squeezes tighter
I still lie to get a smile
[Verse 9]
Using what I want
To get what you want
Using what I want
To get what you want
Using what I want
To get what you want
Using what I want
To get what you want
[Verse 10]
Ooh sweet Amber
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
[Verse 11]
She holds the pen that spells the end
She traces me and draws me in
She holds the pen that spells the end
She traces me and draws me in
[Verse 12]
Ooh sweet Amber (Ooh sweet Amber)
[Verse 13]
Ooh sweet Amber
How sweet are you?
Ooh, how sweet does it get?
How sweet are you?
How sweet does it get?
[Verse 14]
It's never as sweet as it seems
