You had style, you had class
you had everything to make a love last
you had grace, you had charm
you had me hanging on your arm
when i found out you were a fake
you ran up and bit me like a snake
and i was ready to let go
and let all my feelings show

 [bad word] 
Tell me why you wanna be so cold
why you wanna be so mean
you've gone and let your [bad word] colors show
you're a perpetual blues machine

We could've been just fine
if you had only ben all mine
'cause i was for real, but you did not know
that you were steppin' on my heart
as you were walking out the door
but now i know who you are
and it's a [bad word] good thing we didn't get too far
'cause i'm not the one that's right for you
you need a man to do your rolling
like you want him to do

 [bad word] 
Tell me why you wanna be so cold
why you wanna be so mean
you've gone and let your [bad word] colors show
you're a perpetual blues machine

Now you've gone, and I'm glad
that we didn't let it get to bad
you know i tried to make it go
but there was just no way to tell you so

 [bad word] 
Tell me why you wanna be so cold
why you wanna be so mean
you've gone and let your [bad word] colors show
you're a perpetual blues machine
