Lyrics
I don't need no lesson
about the war that's in my heart!
I've got no time for thoughts and prayers
oh no I don't.
but lately life's been on my mind
those heady days with no sense of time
now I'm looking back with kinder eyes
and this is what I find
that what I need
it just can't be
wish i could go back to myself and say
too many pieces of my soul i give away
to a different guy each night and he don't know my name
if i could take it back, i wouldn't hesitate
too many pieces of my soul i give away
so...let me set the scene for you
it's 3am, you can pick any night
a head full of booze and bad chardonnay
hey hey hey hey
dancing on a spider's web
and i've got strangers all around
the puppet with no strings attached
the latest trick in town
that what I need
it just can't be
wish i could go back to myself and say
too many pieces of my soul i give away
to a different guy each night and he don't know my name
if i could take it back, i wouldn't hesitate
too many pieces of my soul i give away
don't get me wrong
I've got no regrets
but I just wish
that things could've been a bit diff'rent
and maybe i'd be a
pop star or the president
in love with a good residence
would i have the pieces of my soul again?
that what I need
it just can't be
wish i could go back to myself and say
too many pieces of my soul i give away
to a different guy each night and he don't know my name
if i could take it back, i wouldn't hesitate
too many pieces of my soul i give away
