It's understood, I said it many ways Too scared to run, I'm too scared stay I said I'd leave, but I could never leave her And if I did, you know I'd never cheat her But this I ask, it's what I want to know How would you feel, if I should choose to go Another guy, you think he'd be unlike me Another guy, you think he'd want to fight me She's a dove, she's a fucking nightmare Unpredictable, it was my mistake to stay here On the go and it's way too late to play I need a girl that I can train I heard it once, I'm sure I heard it twice My dad used to give me all of his advice He would say you got to turn your back and run now Come on son, you haven't got a chance now She's a dove, she's a fucking nightmare Unpredictable, it was my mistake to stay here On the go and it's way too late to play I need a girl that I can train She's a dove, she's a fucking nightmare Unpredictable, it was my mistake to stay here On the go and it's way too late to play I need a girl that I can train Need a girl that I can train Need a girl that I can train Turn your back and run now You haven't got a chance now Need a girl that I can train Need a girl that I can train Turn your back and run now You haven't got a chance now
