Lyrics
0:01Take off your shoes hang up your wings
0:06Stack up the chairs roll up the rug
0:10Savor the things that sobriety brings
0:16Drain in the last from a jug
0:24But when I hit the bottle theres no tellin what Ill do
0:28Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue
0:33I cant resist you I cant wait
0:37To twist your loving arms til you capitulate
0:41Beat me in the kitchen and Ill beat you in the hall
0:44Theres nothing I love better than a free for all
0:48To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends
0:52But when it is all over we will still be friends
0:57Wave a white flag put away the pistol
1:01Too many people just cant get kissed
1:05But if theres nothin I can do to make amends baby
1:09Hope you dont murder me
1:13Oh was it all right or was it okay
1:17Ill make it all up to you someday
1:21Oh but you didnt have to laugh that way
1:25Oh no you didnt have to laugh that way
1:30Wave a white flag put away the pistol
1:34Too many people just cant get kissed
1:38But if theres nothin I can do to make amends baby
1:42Hope you dont murder me
1:45Gee baby hope you dont murder me
Take off your shoes hang up your wings Stack up the chairs roll up the rug Savor the things that sobriety brings Drain in the last from a jug But when I hit the bottle theres no tellin what Ill do Cause something deep inside me wants to turn you black and blue I cant resist you I cant wait To twist your loving arms til you capitulate Beat me in the kitchen and Ill beat you in the hall Theres nothing I love better than a free for all To take your pretty neck and see which way it bends But when it is all over we will still be friends Wave a white flag put away the pistol Too many people just cant get kissed But if theres nothin I can do to make amends baby Hope you dont murder me Oh was it all right or was it okay Ill make it all up to you someday Oh but you didnt have to laugh that way Oh no you didnt have to laugh that way Wave a white flag put away the pistol Too many people just cant get kissed But if theres nothin I can do to make amends baby Hope you dont murder me Gee baby hope you dont murder me
