I skipped out on town,   to keep hold of my pride,   and when i get home i don't know just what I'm gonna do.   I just hade to leave,   when things got stale,   yeah, I gotta work hard not to lose my cool sometimes.   and Do I scare you,   when I'm on edge?   I'm always tempted by love,   always tempted by substances.   And doesn't the future look bright?   Yeah it does, yeah it does, yeah it does.   And doesn't the future look bright?   yeah it does, yeah it does, yeah it does.   because I've worked far too hard to watch it all fall apart.   Yeah, I've worked far too hard to watch you all fall apart.   So baby, don't run too far.   because baby, we've got to work hard.   Because I want to see you smiling five years from now.   So baby, hold on to your dignity,   because those boys they want your body.   And we all know they're cold and heartless.   So baby, can you show me   what it means to be dignified,   on that spot on the carpet on my bedroom floor,   on that spot on the carpet on my bedroom floor,   on that spot on the carpet on my bedroom floor?
