you got your hair combed back 
and your shirt pulled up 
the boy don't stand a chance 
and its his only chance 
you says you hands are tied 
because your friends are tired 
of watching you lie awake 
and wait for him 
he's had too much to drink 
he's fallin down in the streets 
he's begging you not to leave 
she's had too long to think 
and he's lying through his teeth 
cause he already knows in the end 
it won't be the better love 
ain't gonna work it out 
it won't be the better love 
it's always the same 
it won't be the better love 
ain't gonna work it out 
don't be bitter love 
it's always the same 
you left your shoes untied 
and your shirt untucked 
the girl don't even glance 
cause its way past your chance 
you say your hands are tied 
because you're always tired 
of watching em come and go 
they don't wait for you 
cause when she's had too much to drink 
and she just can't fall asleep 
she'll be begging you not to leave 
and when you've had too long to think 
you'll be lying through your teeth 
cause you already know in the end
