Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
My friend's got a bruise on his leg, a bruise on his leg Everytime you speak. My friend's got a bruise on his leg, where I press my knee Everytime you speak. Actually, bottom line, you tell the truth sometimes. Sometimes you tell the truth like you're pulling taffy. My friend's got a bruise on his arm, a bruise on his arm Everytime you speak. My friend's got a bruise on his arm, where I shove my elbow Everytime you speak. Actually, bottom line, you tell the truth sometimes. Sometimes you tell the truth like you're pulling taffy. My friend's got a bruise on his ribs where I poke my finger Everytime you speak. My friend's got a bruise on his ribs, his rib cage is now numb Everytime you speak. Actually, bottom line, you tell the truth sometimes. Sometimes you tell the truth like you're pulling taffy.
