It Never Seems To Work

(앨범: Thanks For The Metal Sign - 2000)

There was this guy I knew
He was the biggest jerk
He fooled everyone
With his smile it would always work
And then there was this girl
He took her away from me
I was young and in love
I called her everyday at three

We started hanging out more
Guess we became best friends
That was good enough for me
She would never get the message I would send
So then that guy went after her
And I got really, really jealous
They started going out now
I wondered how'd this become a mess?

I know it never seems to work out your way
Don't throw a fit
Not even a little bit
Try to make your say
Give it all you've got
And never give up
Well, if that girl you want doesn't take you in
Then you haven't tried enough, yeah

One time when I was young
This girl walked in with me
She took my heart away
I just turned and walked away
The only thing I had
A girl to dream about
A stupid memory
Another dumb story

I know it never seems to work out your way
Don't throw a fit
Not even a little bit
Try to make your say
Give it all you've got
And never give up
Well, if that girl you want doesn't take you in
Then you haven't tried enough

'Cause I...don't need you anymore
Turn away, look ahead
And walk out that door
'Cause I...don't need you anymore
Turn away, look ahead
And walk out that door

She don't worry about what I say
She'll just turn and look the other way
I feel like I've been robbed
Or maybe my heart just stopped
I used to do everything
Write her songs and even sing
She put my mind in a haze
Fuck that shit and her ways

Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho-ho

Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho, oh, 1, 2, 3, 4!

Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho-ho, oh, pick it up now!

Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho-ho

Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho-ho

Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho-ho

Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho ho
Whoa, whoa, ho-ho-ho
