Next Line Nineties

For Keely, our inspiration and the best reader of the quiz, from your Saturday Quiz family
And through it all
She offers me protection
A lot of love and affection
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
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
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
