(Spencer-Brewster)
No one ever beats you
Trying was a waste of time
No one ever cheats you
I could never read your mind
Didn't wanna touch you
Didn't wanna talk out loud
Got a dirty secret (got a dirty secret)
I knew it when you made me wait around
No one ever beats you
No one ever cheats you
Trying was a waste of time
No one ever breaks you
No one ever shakes you
Don't waste my time
Waiting for the guru
They do it in the white house now
The automayic handshake
There could've been a loaded gun around
No one ever beats you
No one ever cheats you
Trying was a waste of time
No one ever breaks you
No one ever shakes you
Don't waste my time
