Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My life reads like the classifieds
Pages of what's for sale, what's on the auction block?
Attention, bidders, it's lot forty-five
He's got a decent voice, he's got that crooked smile
[Verse 2]
Hold on, you haven't heard the best yet
He writes good storylines, he's got those honest eyes
So, take him up, for just nine ninety-five
He'll sing the songs you like, he'll keep you warm at night, at night
[Verse 3]
Back down, cash out, that's the city for ya
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 4]
I'm not the type to forget about nights like this
When every single move that I make is documented and scored for style points, for once
Ambitious one, now holds a smoking gun
And if I die in my sleep, are you still willing to be everything you promised you would be?
[Verse 5]
Back down, cash out, that's the city for ya
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 6]
Will you be the first one to tell the neighborhood the papers?
And all my family and friends that still care
Did you buy what I sold and did you feel what I told you?
I hope that you still do, will you?
Promise yourself, that this isn't all that we've got
[Verse 7]
Back down, cash out, that's the city for ya
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart
[Verse 8]
Back down, cash out, that's the city for ya
Break down and back out, and get what's coming to you
When you said you were falling apart
I thought you meant that you were falling apart
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
