I got a job doin' stock at a department store   I had to wake up at four every morning   I had to pay rent sometimes   You gotta get a job to do that   Summer was half-way done   And it was my turn to live in the closet   August heat was so intense   I thought that I might die from it   And it seems like I never slept   And my heart wasn't bein' well-kept   So when the chance came to get out of pain   I jumped, I jumped for it   And it was my first time kissing double time   I thought that it might bring an end   And something new might start again   But I was wrong, so wrong   It had been bad for so long   And that's the way it would stay until Valentine's Day   I confessed, yeah, I told her about that kiss   No, I didn't make the move but I knew   That I wanted it to happen again   I apologized and she cried   And I said that all we ever do is fight   I think it's time we bring an end to this   But she said no, oh no   That's not the way it's gonna go   And so it goes, so it goes, so it goes
