I’ll never let a girl
Get away again
Ain’t nobody
Come close to me
To me
To me

If she should try to run
I would get a gun
C’mon honey
Come close to me
To me
To me

There’s a bridge on the river
There’s a bum in the alley
But there’s nobody wrapped in her arms

From the stars in the sky
To the place where I lie
It’s like everyone’s under her charm

So we drink in the kitchen
And she’s drunk on the sidewalk
Where somebody’s starting a fight

But there’s not much to say
Cause we’ve wasted the day
And everyone’s wasted tonight

I’ll never let a girl
Get away again
Ain’t nobody
Come close to me
To me
To me

If she should try to run
I would get a gun
C’mon honey
Come close to me
To me
To me

Well I know I’m good lookin’
Cause I swear on good cookin’
My mom says I’m handsome and strong

And she knows that she’s pretty
Cause the sirens of the city
They’re singing a sad, jealous song

Upstairs the door’s open
Where the gun is still smokin’
Though they lit every bit of evidence

Save a silver spare rubber
That cha boy just discovered
Makin’ sorrow look like confidence

I’ll never let a girl
Get away again
Ain’t nobody
Come close to me
To me
To me

If she should try to run
I would get a gun
C’mon honey
Come close to me
To me
To me

Standin’ up is a struggle
When there’s juice from the jungle
And I’m fillin’ every cup to the brim

And when John’s in the back round
And puking his guts out
You can hear them chant asshole at him

On the porch she’s with me
Says her name’s Bethany
As her eyes pull me into a trance

Then she tells me to stay
And she just walks away
I’m a dog and I aint got a chance

I’ll never let a girl
Get away again
Ain’t nobody
Come close to me
To me
To me

If she should try to run
I would get a gun
C’mon honey
Come close to me
To me
To me
