Lyrics
Right person, wrong time I'd spend every cent and dime To commit the precious crime Of feelin' in my right mind Cross the states, Cross my mind Rushin' to the finish line Waistin' all my precious time Just to be by your side Loverboy, Loverboy I just wanna be your toy Don't care if it makes me sad I know that you treat me bad Loverboy, Loverboy I knew I was just a toy I knew it was very wrong I just wanted to tag along 'Cause I like love bittersweet The kind that knocks you off your feet The kind that kicks you to your knees The kind that rips out all your teeth Same story, different guy Searchin' for an aliby Hidin' tough and actin' shy The kinda luck you can't deny Sayin' things of strange and odd Cursin' out my name at god Hunny, Hunny you're a fraud The kind of act I can't applaud Loverboy, Loverboy I just wanna be your toy Don't care if it makes me sad I know that you treat me bad Loverboy, Loverboy I knew I was just a toy I knew it was very wrong I just wanted to tag along 'Cause I like love bittersweet The kind that knocks you off your feet The kind that kicks you to your knees The kind that rips out all your teeth You were my, my, my My Ponyboy, my pride and joy You helped me fill that bitter void And I was Bettie Paige But you filled with rage 'Cause I dress to skimpy for my age And you hated that, you hated me You told me so disgracefully Just like a cunt, I'm on the hunt Regret you pulled that little stunt 'Cause, I don't need a man who Thinks that he can- a Tell me what to say And I don't need a man who Don't even understand that He aint even that great
