Lyrics
0:09Oh, the loneliest girl in town
0:14Is bought for pennies a price
0:18We dress her up in lovely gowns
0:23She's easy on the eyes
0:28Her soul is black and it's a fact
0:32That her sneer will eat you alive
0:37And the buyer always brings her back
0:41Because all she does is cry
0:47So take what you want, take what you can
0:49Take what you please, don't give a damn
0:51Ask for forgiveness, never permission
0:55Take what you want, take what you can
0:58Take what you please, don't givе a damn
1:00It's in the blood and this is tradition
1:07Ooh-ooh
1:14Oh, the loneliеst girl in town
1:19Was bought for plenty a price
1:23Well, they dress her up in golden crowns
1:28His smile hides a lie
1:33She smiles back, but it's a fact
1:37That her fear will eat her alive
1:42Well, she got the life that she wanted
1:46But now all she does is cry
1:51Take what you want, take what you can
1:54Take what you please, don't give a damn
1:56Ask for forgiveness, never permission
2:00Take what you want, take what you can
2:03Take what you please, don't give a damn
2:05It's in the blood and this is tradition
2:10You can't take it back, it's good as gone
2:19Well, flesh amnesiac, this is your song
2:28And I hope what's left will last all summer long
2:37And they said that boys were boys, but they were wrong
2:47Take what you want, take what you can
2:49Take what you please, don't give a damn
2:52Ask for forgiveness, never permission
2:56Take what you want, take what you can
3:00Take what you please, don't give a damn
3:01It's in the blood and this is tradition
3:06Take what you want, take what you can
3:08Take what you please, don't give a damn
3:10Ask for forgiveness, never permission
3:15Take what you want, take what you can
3:17Take what you please, don't give a damn
3:20It's in the blood and this is tradition
3:29(It's good as gone)
