Don't lie Where have you been? Your teeth are red Your eyes are peppermints Sailing out to sea with your new best friend You don't like the way you live So's you play pretend But isn't it time you act your age? You got a mortgage on your shoulders Got a babe on the way You shrug it out with your jackass grin Thinkin' as soon as you clean up You're gonna do it again He says I'm going to pleasure island I don't wanna come home The reverend says beware He swears we're goin' to hell We may be donkeys But at least we have a tale to tell Don't start with a slap on the wrist I don't need no cease and assist I ain't foolin' 'round And it ain't no sin So's you best be stepping back those ugly ultimatums And never you mind what your old maid says There ain't nothin' to complain So long's you're earning bread She's got a way of getting under your skin She plants a little seed of doubt The guilt blossoms She says If you're going to pleasure island You can never come home The problem with your kid: you can't say no You can't take a little nibble You got to lick the bone I pushed off I'm sailin' away And I ain't lookin' back Can't have you seein' me this way This just might be my greatest mistake Throwin' the future tense away For the present's presence My life was but a pleasure But it sure was pleasant He says I'm going to pleasure island I ain't never going home I'll make an ass out of myself Sooner than say I'm wrong Yeah I'd sooner be fuckin' around in the mud I'm going to pleasure island I ain't comin' back home Mama's thumpin' her bible She swears we're going to hell And papa's just jealous He wants to come here as well We may be donkeys But at least we have a tale to tell
