Lyrics

Porno For Pyros version:

Somebody handed me a bloody rag
Oh that rag got thick and red
Yeah! Oh! Yeah! (Yeah!) Oh (Oh)! And I wish and I hope
And I hope and I pray
But oh!
No way
No way
No way
No way

So how many times can you walk away?
How many times, he did it again?
Yeah! Oh! Yeah! Oh! I wished and I hoped
And I hoped and prayed
But oh!
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
No way
