It's been ten long years since I've been home   I've been waiting here with nowhere to go   It's an occupation I don't like   But it pays the rent and turns on the light   (Alright)      I told you so, it has to be   Cut loose and runaway with me   We'll go out every night, I'll be there by your side   And we'll all get high down the old west side      If it ain't the job and it ain't the place   But I must stay for your pretty face   It's a bad reaction I can't fix   You conned me with those feline tricks      And I told you so, it's a crazy world   For a mixed-up guy and a no-good girl   And I told you so, it's a crazy world   For a mixed-up guy with a no-good girl      Take her, take the world      I told you so, it has to be   Cut loose and run away with me   (Run away)   We'll go out every night, I'll be there by your side   And we'll all get high down the old west side      Down the old west side   Down the old west side   Down the old west side   (Take the world, yeah)
