The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I heard you coming in from town, stilettos scrape the ground, I saw you in your overcoat, a random on your throat, I know you this is not the girl, that I used to whirl Round me, what's happening to you, what's happening to you? I love it, I shoot it like a Tommy gun, but you will carry on until the day you are done. You never know when to stop, you'll carry on until you're dead and you drop, you will carry on until you're dead and you drop. You over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll Your teeth are starting to go, five nights a week is starting to show. Dark rings around your eyes, are fashionable until somebody dies. This pace a little too fast, you're a space cadet dressed in fibreglass. You're gonna shatter, it's not too late to undo, put the fiddle down, the taming of the shrew. I love it, I shoot it like a Tommy gun, but you will carry on until the day you are done. You never know when to stop, you'll carry on until you're dead and you drop, you will carry on until you're dead and you drop. You over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll. You over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll. You will never know when to stop, you'll carry on until you're dead and you drop, you will carry on until you're dead and you drop. I love it, I shoot it like a Tommy gun, but you will carry on until the day you are done, you will carry on until the day you are done. You over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll. You over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll, you over did it doll
