Well, she wants to be a singer in the band Maybe I'll give the girl a hand and a microphone Looks like she's all alone She can bring a friend, though she's not my kind of friend She keeps on staring me out with her Old black and blue eyes And I can take her dancing just to give the girl a chance And I was never that good at being nice when I should I guess that she'll forgive me right before she tries to kill me 'Cause I sold her on yesterday's "Come take me home", eyes And I can take her waltzing just so she could kick my head in Oh, I do believe I was drunk and both of my heads had shrunk I guess her name was Tina 'cause before I'd even seen her I was lost in her, "What's your name?" "Just get me fucked", eyes "Oh, take me home", eyes And Chelsea says she's got nowhere to go And if she does, she's gettin' there slow And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be And that's the very thing when you're dealing with me Young soul shagger, begging me to bag her Filthy heart and swollen hips And she said, "Oh, my dearest I'm not pretty, isn't it a pity That you won't kiss these rotten lips?" "Oh, take me home", eyes Old black and blue eyes And Chelsea says she's got nowhere to go And if she does, she's getting there slow And I can help her out, but I've got somewhere to be And that's the very thing when you're dealing with me
