I've been thinking that you've crossed the line If you disagree, well, that will be just fine 'Cause you waste my time and waste my money And you'r not too cool and your not so funny! Spreading your seed all over the town Getting too greedy and messing around Oh my gosh, you must be joking me If you think that you'll be poking me Don't take me on, no, no Don't take me on, no, no Don't take me on Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know Don't try to deny 'cause my fuse is ready to blow It's your turn to learn, I think that you know where to go It's a shame, shame, shame, shame for you Please don't come around and knock on my door 'Cause I don't want to have to pick you up of the floor When you ask if we can still be lovers I'll have to introduce my brothers I think that they could teach you a lesson or two, By the time they've finished you'll be black and blue You'll be crying like a baby, A sea of tears they'll call the navy in Don't take me on, no, no Don't take me on, no, no Don't take me on Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know Don't try to deny 'cause my fuse is ready to blow It's your turn to learn, I think that you know where to go It's a shame, shame, shame, shame for you No, no, no, no, no, no Don't take me on, no, no Don't take me on, no, no Don't take me on Shattered the lie but you think I don't already know Don't try to deny cos my fuse is ready to blow It's your turn to learn, I think that you know where to go It's a shame, shame, shame, shame for you Shame, shame, shame, shame for you
