Standing on the corner, watching the world go by
Tall dark & handsome, you don't even have to try
A success with the ladies, big with the boys
His threads are expensive, he's in executive toys
Waitin' in the shadows, standing on up the street
are the family connections, the men you never meet
Short term investment, a long term smash
No credit, no cheques, it's all done in cash
Your toe in the water, won't make a splash
But there's no turning back, it's a one way dash
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
You'll be sorry you ever did
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
You'll be sorry you ever did
Stealin' & a-dealin', rockin' & reelin' all night
Duckin' & divin', tryin' as hard as you might
You'll get there the first time, you don't take a lot
To go for the second'll take more than you've got
You'll never get back to where you wanna be
You ain't gonna make it and you just can't see
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
You'll be sorry you ever did
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
Worse thing you ever did
Don't buy the potion
Arrest the motion
Don't buy the potion
Worst thing you ever did
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
Don't buy the potion
You'll be sorry you ever did
Tall dark & handsome, you don't even have to try
