Let's take the boat out on the bay   Forget your job for just one day   I wish it didn't have to be so bad   It might be inappropriate, because   Either way, our band gets dropped, oh yeah   I wish it didn't have to be so bad      But I'd play with fire to break the ice   And I'd play with a nuclear device   Is it something I'll regret   Why do I want what I can't get   I wish it didn't have to be so bad      The three date theory's getting old   Everyone's getting left out in the cold   I wish it didn't have to be so bad   So I'll see you with another guy   Who pretends not to hear you when you cry, oh yeah   I wish it didn't have to be so bad      But I'd play with fire to break the ice   And I'd play with a nuclear device   Is it something I'll regret   Why do I want what I can't get   I wish it didn't have to be so bad      I'll be moving on, moving on,    Moving on and on   Moving on, moving on,    Moving on and on and on      But I'd play with fire to break the ice   And I'd play with a nuclear device   Is it something I'll regret   Why do I want what I can't get   I wish it didn't have to be so bad
