FI walk down my strCeet at night
The cGity lights are strange and violent
FI am comfortCed by the apprGoaching sounds of trucks and sirens
FEven though the wCorld's so bad
These mGen rush out to help the dying
And thFough I am no uCse to them
I Gdo my part by simply smiling
[repeat intro or F C G G x2]
The ghFetto boys are cCatcalling me
GAs I pull my keys from my pocket
FI wonder if thCis method of cGourtship
Has ever been effective
Has Fany girl in hCistory said
SGure, you seem so nice, let's get it on?
StFill, I always sChock them when I Ganswer
Hi, my name's Amanda,
and FI'm not gonna live my life on oCne side of an ampersand
and Geven if I went with you I'm nFot the girl you think I am
and FI'm not gonna match you
cause I'll lCose my voice completely yeah
GI'm just gonna watch you
Cause I'm nFot the one that's crazy
[repeat intro or F C G G x2]
FI have wasted yCears of my life
GAgonizing up at the fires
It stFarted when I thCought that to be strGong you must be flame retardant
And nFow to dress the woCunds cause into qGuestion
How authentic they are
There is Falways someone critCicizing Gme
She just likes paying hospital
LFying Cin my bGed
I remFember whCat you sGaid
There's no such thing as accidents
But you've got the hAmeadstone all ready
All cCarved up and pretty
Your sGick satisfaction

The dAmaisies all push up'n
PaCirs to the horizons
Your hGands full of ketchup

The hAmeadstone's all ready
All cCarved up and pretty
Your sGick satisfaction
Those hFis and hers matching
The dAmaises all push up'n
PaCirs to the horizons
Your eGyes full of ketchup

FAs I wake up tCo a cough
The blGaze consumed the block
But poetically stFopped at my apCartment
And my hoGusemates are all sleeping soundly
And nFobody dCeserves to die
But yGou were awful adamant
That Fif I didn't lCove you
Then you hGave just one alternative
And FI may be romantic
And CI may risk my life for it
But GI ain't gonna die for you
You knFow I ain't no Juliet
And FI'm not gonna watch you while you bCurn yourself out baby
