And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection

17

Today is gonna be the day that they're gonna throw it back to you
And by now, you should've somehow realised what you gotta do

18

So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)

19

No, I don't want no scrub
A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me
Hangin' out the passenger side
Of his best friend's ride

I'm all out of faith
This is how I feel
I'm cold and I am shamed
