Your love is like a studded leather headlock Your kiss, it put could creases in the rain You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock And those other girls are just Postmix lemonade Suck it and see, you never know Sit next to me before I go Jigsaw women with hollow movie blue shoes Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you I poured my aching heart into a pop song I couldn't get the hang of poetry That's not a skirt, girl, that's a sawn-off shotgun And I can only hope you've got it aimed at me Suck it and see, you never know Sit next to me before I go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for Blue moon girls from once upon a Shangri-La How I often wonder where you are You have got that face that just says "Baby, I was made to break your heart" Suck it and see, you never know Sit next to me before I go Go, go, go Jigsaw women with horror movie shoes Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you
