lyrics

Ride it out I said don't jump the gun
So how am I covered in your lust
With my own words ringing in my ears

You rolled over, said hey I'm not looking for anything serious
but you can stay the night
You're crazy if you really thought I might.

Slipped out of your old elevator with your security guard staring me down
I'm leaving here, a little bit incredulous that mothers let boys like you out.

It's 3am you want a body in your bed,
and I shouldn't be misled,
thinking it has anything to do with me

Now I know I was explicit, told you to take it slow
but you were drunk and you weren't listening
Oh man I should have known.

You've got a big bed but I've no inclination to spend a single minute there
And so you're well read but I've more expectation of a man than a flair for Baudelaire

Slipped out of your old elevator with your security guard staring me down
You've got a big bed but I've no inclination to spend a single minute there
I wasn't born only for your pleasure and I'm not your porn magazine.
It's how you treat a woman that it's measured, the kind of man you've been.
