In the house where you live
With the lights in the basement so dim
I pull you aside
Just to tell you what I found out tonight
All our friends dance and clap
And the night seems to go by so fast
I can't take it all in
But this feeling I've got is building
Oh, I can't write you a good song
I never will, never will, never will
And this tired old melody is
Just for me, just for me, just for me
just for me
I've never been, never been
Quite so evil as I have tonight
Oh, my intentions were good
But they didn't come out, come out right
And though I know you're all wrong
I can't help myself from going along
With all that ink on your skin
Well I've never been so interested
Oh, I can't write you a good song
I never will, never will, never will
And this tired old melody is
Just for me, just for me, just for me
just for me
Oh I can't write you a good song
I never will, never will, never will
And this tired old melody is
Just for me, just for me, just for me
If I can't write you a good song well
Write your own, write your own, write your own
And I'll listen close to see
How you sing all the words about me
'Cause this party will die down
All our friend they will dance their way out
And we'll clean up your house
And I'll try not to think much about it
And I'll try
With the lights in the basement so dim
I pull you aside
Just to tell you what I found out tonight
All our friends dance and clap
And the night seems to go by so fast
I can't take it all in
But this feeling I've got is building
Oh, I can't write you a good song
I never will, never will, never will
And this tired old melody is
Just for me, just for me, just for me
just for me
I've never been, never been
Quite so evil as I have tonight
Oh, my intentions were good
But they didn't come out, come out right
And though I know you're all wrong
I can't help myself from going along
With all that ink on your skin
Well I've never been so interested
Oh, I can't write you a good song
I never will, never will, never will
And this tired old melody is
Just for me, just for me, just for me
just for me
Oh I can't write you a good song
I never will, never will, never will
And this tired old melody is
Just for me, just for me, just for me
If I can't write you a good song well
Write your own, write your own, write your own
And I'll listen close to see
How you sing all the words about me
'Cause this party will die down
