Serves you Right
Got a twinkle in my eye
winklepickers on my feet
I'd trip the light fantastic
but I'd need a longer street
move to catch the signal
still talking to my shrink
they say 'what's happnin cap'n'
and I don't know what to think
I'm telling you brother
I have truly seen some sights
walking lonely laneways in the middle of the night
wear your heart out on your sleeve
ooo...
it's gonna serve you right
For those who will believe it
they say that there's a plan
when you've finally lost in love
you become a man
Wait till your heart is broke
then you'll understand
pick up the tiny pieces
make an island in the sand
coming up with aces
when all you wants a Queen
Dont get no explanations
unexpected expectations
may lead to revelations
ooo..
it's gonna serve you right
Sometimes dealt the jackass
sometimes play the mule
everbodys porter
but you aint nobodys fool
might need some fermentation
before you start to lose your cool
such useful lamentations
squeaky grease for rusty tools
I'm telling you brother
it's enough to turn you white
to act on circumstances
to explain those strange advances
will always serve you right
it's gonna serve you right
