I see that nothin's safe
Insist on playing games 
Some waste their time and more
I am still popular 
Permission since you fix 
I got to gas -- get
Or just another job
Oh no surly not

Your rude, but you're absolute
Stalemate, ahh too late, too late 

I thought you were for real 
Just won the river deal 
Don't give me all that crap 
I just escaped your trap 
But didn't you see the joke 
Then you're just chasin' smoke 
You found another one
An old story's done

Your rude, but you're absolute
Stalemate, ahh too late, too late 

Misunderstanding me 
The way you felt so free 
I'm gonna jump the gun 
I'm gonna cut an' run 
You're gonna do it see
I've got no ice in me 
And now the thrill is gone
An old story's done

Your rude, but you're absolute
Stalemate, ahh too late, too late
