Violent Femmes - Kiss Off lyrics

rate me

I need someone a person to talk to

Someone who'd care to love

Could it be you could it be you

Situation gets rough then I start to panic

It's not enough it's just a habit

Hey kid your sick well darling this is it

You can all just kiss off into the air

Behind my back I can see them stare

They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind

They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time

Yeah yeah they do it all the time

I hope you know this will go down

On your permanent record

Oh yeah well don't get so distressed

Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed

I take one one one cause you left me and

Two two two for my family and

3 3 3 for my heartache and

4 4 4 for my headaches and

5 5 5 for my lonely and

6 6 6 for my sorrow and

7 7 for no tomorrow and

8 8 I forget what 8 was for and

9 9 9 for a lost God and

10 10 10 10 for everything

Everything everything everything
